Republic Services, Inc. is currently running 15.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against RSG's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 52nd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 15.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

RSG is trading -14.9% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -9.2%, and the deepest was -34.0% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +2.2% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 26th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year RSG closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, RSG finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +1.3% and an average of +1.0%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.2% on average, its weakest September at -1.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: RSG has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 49 of 3,267 sessions (1.5% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.8% and -12.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, RSG moved an average of 1.4% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +0.3% and a largest of +3.2%.
