GFL Environmental: Leaner, Greener, and Flush with Optionality—Will M&A, RNG and Contract Repricing Be Enough to Drive the Next Leg of Rerating?

$50.00 — or $120.00 / year

GFL’s Q1FY25 print showcased disciplined execution, with revenue up 12.5% YoY (ex-ES) and a record 27.3% adjusted EBITDA margin (+120bps), despite weather-related headwinds. Pricing power (+5.7%) outpaced guidance with ~75% actions embedded, while volume resilience (+90bps) exceeded expectations. Canadian solid waste delivered outsized growth, fueled by incremental EPR volumes (~5.5%), with Toronto contract renewals at 2–3x prior rates de-risking future pricing. U.S. operations exhibited stable volumes and improved labor efficiency. Post-ES divestiture, net leverage of 3.1x (lowest ever) unlocks capital flexibility, supporting an active $700M–$900M M&A pipeline (YTD $240M deployed) focused on high-IRR tuck-ins and underutilized post-collection assets. Structural growth levers—RNG (15 projects), EPR ($40–50M EBITDA potential), and a $300M+ GIP run-rate—remain underappreciated. Q2 guide implies further margin expansion (+150bps YoY) despite FX headwinds. Risks include construction market softness, RNG monetization timing, and FX volatility. Management’s confidence in exceeding M&A targets and progressing RNG commercialization is encouraging, but unlocking sustained FCF accretion and visible EBITDA conversion remains critical to rerating. Can GFL’s current levers—M&A, RNG, and contract repricing—collectively deliver the margin durability and FCF velocity needed to drive the next phase of multiple expansion, or will market skepticism persist until clearer capital returns emerge?

    Alphabet Inc: Can AI Frontier Advances Maintain Search Dominance as Cloud Growth already Hits 18-Month High?

     $50.00 — or $120.00 / year

    Alphabet’s second-quarter results highlight the company’s continued strength in search and cloud services, reflecting solid ad revenue growth and accelerated growth in Google Cloud, driven by AI tools enhancing broader cloud adoption. Despite some challenges, the company’s total revenue increased 14% year over year, with Google search revenue growing 14% to $48.5 billion, led by robust retail demand, particularly in Asia. Alphabet has also seen early success with AI overviews within search results, improving user satisfaction and ad performance. While YouTube advertising growth slowed to 13%, this was partly due to tough comparisons from the previous year. Operating margins improved to 32% from 29% last year, thanks to cost controls and reduced SG&A expenses, despite increased capital spending on compute infrastructure. Alphabet’s dominance in the online search market, with over 90% global share, positions it well to maintain leadership despite competition from Microsoft’s AI-enhanced Bing. Google’s vast ecosystem, data collection capabilities, and technological innovation provide a strong foundation for its advertising services, driving efficiency and relevance. The company’s strategic use of AI in search results and other offerings ensures continued user engagement and advertiser value. In addition to search, Google Cloud has become a significant growth driver, with the firm leveraging its private cloud expertise to expand into the public cloud market, creating additional revenue streams and operational leverage. Alphabet’s investments in futuristic projects, such as Waymo’s autonomous car technology, represent potential long-term growth opportunities, targeting markets valued in the tens of billions of dollars. Google’s ability to offer highly relevant search results and monetize its technology-based intangible assets, from traditional algorithms to advanced AI, underscores its competitive edge. While generative AI introduces some uncertainty, Google’s extensive data collection and user base enhance its capacity to deliver contextual advertising, potentially increasing ad spending per click
