Valuation

COMMENT

A secure business, garbage collection agencies, but all these garbage sector stocks trade at a high 30x PE. RSG has the best credit rating of the group at BBB. Margins are good, better than peers, at 17 cents on the dollar. Good stock, but the stock price is high now. The 1.3% dividend grows at an average 5-10% range while he prefers more than 10%.

HOLD

When you have oligopolies and duopolies, you tend to get better pricing, as there's no option for where to go. Second-largest in NA. Bill Gates' holding company, Cascades, owns 35% of this name. Bit expensive, forward PE in low 20s. Degree of resilience built-in. 50% of pricing is linked to inflation, while the remaining 50% open market is where the pickup comes from.

WEAK BUY

RSG vs. WCN Waste management, one of the largest in the US. Likes the sector. Tailwinds from economic growth, a sticky business, gets pricing power each year. Even though more expensive, he likes WCN the best, as it has a better track record, better margins and growth, and could better drive M&A synergies given their best in class practices and margin profiles. Nothing wrong with RSG, but WCN is the best in class name for the next 5 years.

BUY
A very good company, thriving during periods of residential construction, which is now.
