Clean Harbors exhibits a stable financial foundation with a Piotroski F-Score of 4/9, but the stock is currently trading at a massive premium. The current price of $308.99 significantly exceeds both the Graham Number ($92.29) and the Intrinsic Value ($104.61), suggesting a disconnected valuation. While the company maintains strong liquidity and a low PEG ratio, heavy insider selling and a bearish technical trend offset the positive analyst consensus.
Key Strengths
Strong liquidity position with a Current Ratio of 2.33 and Quick Ratio of 1.90
Consistent long-term price appreciation (5Y Change: +248.2%)
Low PEG ratio (0.27) suggesting potential undervaluation relative to growth expectations
Healthy Return on Equity (ROE) of 14.70%
Strong historical track record of earnings surprises over the last 25 quarters
Key Risks
Extreme valuation gap between current price and deterministic fair value models
Aggressive insider selling totaling $61.97M, including the CEO and CTO
Bearish technical trend (10/100) indicating negative short-term momentum
Recent deterioration in earnings beat consistency (only 1 of the last 4 quarters)
Lack of dividend yield providing no floor for long-term income investors
