AI Insight: CLH Financial Trends

CLH shows stable year-over-year revenue and earnings but operating cash flow remains extremely volatile quarter-to-quarter, masking underlying consistency.

Revenue held near flat year-over-year: Q1 2026 at $1,460M vs. Q1 2025 at $1,432M, a modest 2% gain.

Operating income improved Q4 2025 to $158M vs. Q4 2024 $137M, and Q2 2025 $210M matched Q2 2024 $215M closely.

Total debt declined steadily from $2,791M in Q2 2024 to $2,774M in Q1 2026, while equity grew from $2,442M to $2,776M.

Net income in Q1 2026 was $63M, roughly in line with Q1 2025's $59M, suggesting no meaningful earnings deterioration.

Operating cash flow collapsed to $6M in Q1 2026 vs. $355M in Q4 2025 — extreme seasonality or working capital risk warrants scrutiny.

Operating margin in Q1 2026 was 8.2% ($119M/$1,460M), below Q2–Q3 peaks near 13–14% — seasonal compression persists.

Equity growth from $2,442M to $2,776M over six quarters signals gradual balance sheet strengthening worth monitoring for continuation.

AI Insight: CLH Ratio Trends

CLH shows consistent seasonal cyclicality but peak profitability metrics have stepped down year-over-year, with Q2 ROIC slipping from 16.5% in 2024 to 15.3% in 2025.

ROIC at Q1 2026 stands at 8.6%, nearly matching Q1 2025's 8.3%, confirming deep seasonal troughs but no meaningful recovery.

Peak-quarter ROIC declined from 16.5% in Q2 2024 to 15.3% in Q2 2025, signaling modest year-over-year erosion at the cycle high.

Leverage improved steadily: D/E fell from 1.14 in Q2 2024 to 1.00 in Q1 2026, the lowest level in the dataset.

Operating margin in Q1 2026 is 8.2%, up slightly from Q1 2025's 7.8%, a marginal year-over-year seasonal improvement.

Peak-quarter OpMargin fell from 13.9% (Q2 2024) to 13.6% (Q2 2025) — monitor whether Q2 2026 continues this step-down trend.

ROE at Q1 2026 is 9.1%, matching Q1 2025 exactly — no improvement despite lower leverage, suggesting weaker earnings quality.

D/E at 1.00 is a multi-period low; watch whether debt reduction continues or capital deployment reverses this positive trend.
