Rollins opened 2026 with 10.2% total revenue growth and 6.6% organic growth, meeting the adjusted EPS consensus at $0.24 per share, a result that masks a more interesting intra-quarter story. January was materially soft, weighed down by unfavorable weather that suppressed both recurring service volumes and the onetime business that had already been contracting in November and December. The company held staffing levels steady through that weakness rather than cutting headcount, a deliberate choice rooted in the operational lesson that extreme hiring swings drive technician turnover and degrade the customer experience heading into peak season. That discipline paid off: by the first week of March, call volumes surged, and the company exited the quarter at roughly 8.4% organic growth, with residential accelerating from approximately 4% for the full quarter to over 7% in March alone. The sequential improvement of 90 basis points in organic growth from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026 underpins management's reiterated full-year organic growth target of 7% to 8%, with M&A expected to add another 2% to 3%.
