  • Clean Harbors (CLH) Valuation Amidst Recent Price Surge: Undervalued or Overpriced?
    May 21, 2026, 1:51 PM EDT. Clean Harbors (CLH) shares rose 19.7% year-to-date, currently trading around $291.40 after a recent dip. The company, a major North American environmental services provider, has attracted investor focus on its growth prospects and operational risks. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates an intrinsic value of $405.74 per share, suggesting CLH is undervalued by 28.2% despite a modest valuation score of 2/6 from Simply Wall St. The DCF model projects increasing free cash flow, reaching $830 million by 2030. However, price-to-earnings (P/E) considerations, reflecting investor expectations for growth versus risk, remain critical in evaluating fair value. Investors should weigh these metrics before deciding on exposure to CLH amid volatility.
