The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Sept. 19, edition that Barclays analyst William Grippin commenced coverage of GFL Environmental with an "overweight" rating and $86 share target as well as Waste Connections with an "equal-weight" rating and $265 share target. The Globe's David Leeder writes that analysts on average target the shares of GFL and Waste Connections at $71.19 and $277.97. Mr. Grippin says in a note: "Attractive and durable sector attributes support our positive industry view, with recent sector pullback presenting selective buying opportunities. We see steady growth profiles with high FCF generation enabling capital redeployment flexibility (M&A/buybacks), underpinning long-term upside bias to estimates."
