Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
AcquisitionsCWST completed 8 acquisitions with over $200 million in revenues, strengthening its footprint in the Mid-Atlantic region and expanding into adjacent markets.
Cash FlowCash generation is a key bright spot with an adjusted free cash flow of $158 million, up 23% year-over-year and above the guide.
Bears Say
Market PremiumThe target multiple is at a premium to the sector, and there is difficulty in applying an even higher premium due to factors like FCF yield ~2.3%, no dividend, and lower liquidity.
ProfitabilityThe margin is a bit light, likely due to recently acquired operations, although profitability is expected to improve post integration.
ValuationWhile CWST is a quality operator executing a positive M&A strategy, valuation remains at a notable premium to the waste sector.
