Analyst Ratings Synthesis

Consensus is Buy, with all 19 reported analysts supporting that rating. The mean price target is $204, while the low and high targets are not reported, so the target range and its breadth cannot be measured. The supplied evidence does not identify the most bullish or least bullish analyst, any individual firm targets, or the direction of target and rating revisions during the past week. It therefore also does not establish the substantive disagreement behind the gap between the current share price and the mean target. The consensus information indicates positive aggregate sentiment, but provides no analyst-level detail for comparing conviction.

Waste Connections ( wasteconnections.com ) is an integrated solid waste services company that provides non-hazardous waste collection, transfer and disposal services, including by rail, along with resource recovery primarily through recycling and renewable fuels generation. The Company serves approximately nine million residential, commercial and industrial customers in mostly exclusive and secondary markets across 46 states in the U.S. and six provinces in Canada. Waste Connections also provides nonhazardous oilfield waste treatment, recovery and disposal services in several basins across the U.S. and Canada, as well as intermodal services for the movement of cargo and solid waste containers in the Pacific Northwest.

Key Issues

Bullish view

The scheduled August 6 ex-dividend date could create mechanical downward pressure as the $0.35 quarterly distribution is removed from the share price.

Bearish view

The stock declined sharply on July 30 and again on August 4, before the stated ex-dividend date, and the evidence does not establish that dividend timing drove the broader reversal.
