PARTIAL BUY
He has admired them for a long time. They are an aggregator of smaller niche profitable businesses. This generates a lot of cash and is well diversified. They have evolved into more digital technology companies and has adapted well. He would scale into a buy as it is pretty expensive here.

BUY
A great growth-by-acquisition story and cash flow machine which they funnel back into buying. He sees it as a software-based business rather than industrial in waste management. Cheap valuation and great managers. They're recharging to make more acquisitions. Buy now. Sees upside this year.

WACC is higher than ROIC.
Transitioning from hardware, now almost purely in software. Serial acquirers, only now is it easier to find deals at more reasonable valuations. High WACC is more a function of it being a small company, with market cap only ~$60B (high interest rates impact small companies the most).
Over time, ROIC will drive higher than WACC as it gets larger and continues to execute.
