Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Waste Connections (WCN.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Following Waste Connections' Q3 results, it was noted that the near-term growth outlook did not meet expectations, primarily due to reduced support from commodities. However, it is anticipated that several core value drivers for the business, such as robust pricing, cost and productivity enhancements, and mergers and acquisitions, will continue to have a positive impact into 2025.
Waste Connections surpassed Q3 expectations for both revenue and earnings and has increased its guidance for FY24, with its preliminary outlook for the same period aligning with general market projections. Despite facing numerous challenges, the company's execution continues to be solid. It is well situated to achieve growth in its core solid waste segment and improve margins, thanks to a strong M&A pipeline and productivity improvements, which are expected to lead to favorable future earnings revisions.
The company's third-quarter results slightly exceeded expectations, and the guidance for 2024 has been revised upwards. Additionally, initial commentary for 2025 suggests there may be room for further improvement as the company continues to pursue its merger and acquisition opportunities.
