This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.
SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp., represented by symbol SES-T, has seen a mixed response from experts regarding its current performance and future outlook. Despite a notable run in 2024, the stock has faced downward pressure since mid-2025, although some analysts believe it has found support around $46. There is an ongoing discussion about an approved merger with GFL, which has been met with skepticism due to the acquirer's declining stock value. While some experts see potential upside of around 15%, others question the strategic direction of GFL and suggest that investors may want to sell their shares before the deal closes. Overall, SES is recognized as a stable player in a non-cyclical industry, with many highlighting its strong management team and solid recurring revenue base, despite some concerns about its cyclical nature and market dynamics.
Hard one to read right now. Chart shows good news from last November, but something's been wrong with the fundamentals afterwards. Drop in April was significant, and hasn't been able to come above that level of ~$15.85. It tried, but didn't succeed. Now starting to pull back a bit. Could hit $13.50 before it finds a bottom.
Waste remediation, metals recycling. Recurring revenue. Cashflow conversion rate to free cashflow extremely high in the 50% range. Growing by acquisition and organically. Allocating a lot of capital to buybacks, and Chairman recently added a big share. Industry is not too cyclical, not too hurt by tariffs. Valuation inexpensive. Yield is 2.91%.
(Analysts’ price target is $18.97)SES is cheap and has a decent balance sheet. It pays a 2.63% dividend which has shown a bit of growth. At $3.6B, it is significantly larger than QST ever was. SES has decent cash flow and the stock is up 48% in the past year. 2025 earnings, however, are expected to decline, but this does seem reflected in the low valuation of 7X earnings. The business can be cyclical, but would consider it worth buying on valuation and potential.

For the quarter-ended, SES reported EPS of 12c missing estimates of 13c. Revenue (Excl oil purchase and resale) beat estimates of $333M coming in at $337M declining from $353M from the year prior. Adjusted EBITDA was $114M, declining from $119M but coming in well-ahead of forecasts of $102.15M. The comapny's CEO stated, "Strong second quarter results were driven by robust industry fundamentals, favorable weather conditions, and continued operational execution across our business units, resulting in double digit revenue growth on a same store sales basis." SES also raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance and repurchased approximately 11% of outstanding shares in the quarter. The decline in revenue appears to be driven by wek industry conditions, but we think the results are fine outside of that. The adjusted EBITDA guidance raise is good to see and SES continues to be cheap at 13.5x forward earnings.

Environmental services. Processes wastewater for oil and gas, mid-stream processing and storage. Very attractive EBITDA margins of 35-40%. Just bought biggest competitor. Stock's down, as Competition Bureau is forcing divestitures. Company is appealing this, good chance of winning. 9x earnings, share buybacks. Yield is 6.10%.
(Analysts’ price target is $8.73)
Not a lot of competitors. Regulatory burden on dealing with well wastewater, and this company has the expertise that should allow them to grow. Buy and tuck away; with its volatility, perhaps sell a bit on strength and buy some back on weakness.
