PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 29/25, Up 28%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with SES had achieved its target at $17.00.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $13.50) to $15.00.  

BUY

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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 29/25, Up 18.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with SES is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $12.00) to $13.50 at this time.  

DON'T BUY

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.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

SES holds a basket of waste services and recycling assets that has recently expanded to include metals recycling -- not exciting business, but stable.  It trades at 6x earnings and supports a 52% ROE.  Cash flow is strong and growing rapidly to allow for aggressive debt retirement and shares buyback.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $9, looking to achieve $17 -- upside potential of 25%.  Yield 0%

(Analysts’ price target is $17.93)
TOP PICK

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)
TOP PICK

Excellent business with recurring revenue stream. Waste management business mostly based in Western Canada. Very stable business. Trading at a discounted valuation from peers. Expecting lots of growth going forward. 

BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

WATCH

He's been warming up to services in general. Well run. Too much uncertainty re sites it's been ordered to sell off. he's waiting for clarity on those sales proceeds. See his Top Picks.

TOP PICK

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)
BUY
Very well run company. Does not have energy services exposure. Reservation is that more opportunity exists in energy producers. Energy companies not spending as much on energy growth and drilling.
PARTIAL BUY
Mostly a story on production volume rather than cap-ex spending. Free cashflow is roughly at 15%. Relatively stable. Does not own any service names, but if he were to buy into the space, this would be at the top of his list.
COMMENT
Their acquisition improved their free cashflow profile. Trading at 4.5x EV to EBITDA. We should see multiple expansion. Maybe a 30-40% upside potential, where as other small cap stocks could offer double. A challenging environment for service stocks going forward.
