Strong Revenue Growth and Strategic Acquisitions Drive Buy Rating for Casella WasteWe will look to the conference call (Friday, 10 a.m. ET) for more detail on the volume outlook (especially given peer commentary on construction-related softness) and margin drivers. Despite a larger- than-expected margin drag from acquisitions, we believe shares remain appealing at a discount to 5-year trading averages. Organic Revenue Outperformance. Revenue outperformance was driven mostly by resource solutions, as both processing and national accounts nicely beat our estimates despite recent commodity price weakness. Solid waste also slightly beat on strong disposal revenue. Notably, essentially all the revenue upside relative to our model came from internal revenue growth (5.6%, versus our estimate for 3.8%). Solid waste price (5.0%) was slightly below our estimate but in line with full- year guidance.
