CLHClean Harbors, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +13% a year vs +5% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~13% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 5% a year, priced for acceleration.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 42.9 vs a 30.5 median over 35 quarters (+41% vs median).
Sector median 23.3× across 246 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Mar 31, 2026.
