Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.

Comparing Waste Connections's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures
ⓘRevenue and Revenue Growth
Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales Waste Connections generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.
Gross Margin
Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue Waste Connections retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare Waste Connections's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.
EBIT and EBIT Margin
EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.
Shares Outstanding
The total number of shares Waste Connections has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.
Analyst Estimates
The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against Waste Connections's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

Waste Connections business model & stock analysis
Waste Connections SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Waste Connections Inc. has several strengths that contribute to its success in the waste management industry. Firstly, the company has a strong market position in North America, with a vast network of waste collection and recycling facilities. This extensive infrastructure enables them to efficiently serve their customers and handle different types of waste.
Secondly, Waste Connections Inc. stands out for its strong financial performance. The company has consistently achieved robust revenue growth and profitability, showcasing its ability to deliver value to shareholders and withstand economic downturns.
Additionally, Waste Connections Inc. has built a reputation for its commitment to environmental sustainability. The company implements advanced technologies and practices to minimize the environmental impact of its operations, earning the trust and loyalty of environmentally-conscious customers.
Weaknesses
Despite its strengths, Waste Connections Inc. faces certain weaknesses that it needs to address. One notable weakness is its limited international presence. The company primarily operates in North America, which restricts its opportunities for global expansion and exposes it to potential market-specific risks.
Another weakness is the dependency on regulations and government policies related to waste management. Changes in legislation or regulations could significantly impact Waste Connections Inc.'s operations and require significant adjustments or investments to comply with new requirements.
Opportunities
Waste Connections Inc. has several opportunities for growth and diversification. One promising opportunity is the increasing demand for recycling and sustainable waste management solutions. As environmental consciousness continues to rise, the company can expand its recycling capabilities and develop innovative waste reduction initiatives to capture this growing market segment.
Additionally, Waste Connections Inc. can explore strategic partnerships and acquisitions to expand its geographic reach and enter new markets. This would enable the company to leverage its expertise and resources in areas with high growth potential and contribute to its overall revenue growth.
Threats
Waste Connections Inc. faces various threats that could impact its operations and financial performance. One significant threat is the potential for increased competition in the waste management industry. The entry of new competitors or the consolidation of existing players may pose challenges to Waste Connections Inc.'s market share and pricing power.
Moreover, economic downturns and fluctuations in waste volumes can also pose threats to the company. Reduced industrial activity or changes in consumer behavior may lead to a decline in waste generation, affecting Waste Connections Inc.'s revenue streams.

Annual Return
ⓘWhat This Chart Shows
This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.
Price Return
Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.
Dividend Return
Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.
What to Look For
Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.
