Clean Harbors, Inc. (CLH)

This met a high level screen to indicate a sell and strong underperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balance sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
I'm testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadsheet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

Clean Harbors will suffer from the decline in waste going to its landfills, but will greatly benefit from the Superfund $$$ allocated as part of BAM's big splurge. Clean Harbors has emerged as national leader in the environmental remediation space and a significant portion of revenues come from "site services" demanded from utility/energy companies. Additionally, this company is a logical acquisition target for many of the largest waste management companies (WMI, Allied, etc.).

this company is greatly affected by environmental regulations. Remember kids, laws only get stricter. No one will ever pass a law saying lets remove some pollution/enviro regulation, political career suicide. but no matter the economic consequences, it great to have a sound byte saying "i will do more for the environment".

No real competitors for this company yet and it's doing swell!

Even with current market correction this stock is still above it's 50 day moving average; eps good; rps good; group strength good; profit margin roe and quarterlies all good. This will continue to strengthen. Acquisition of more recycling centers nationwide and strong demand for Technical and Site services keeps this strong.

Got in a while back and my projection to beat the market was good. However, it keeps going steadily up, up, up without drawing comments in CAPS. Is there any fear of CLHB being overpriced? or is my conservative, avoid-loss mentality just taking over. Only 3 stars, so there must be some of you out there with tummy butterflies.

AT A STEADY GROWTH

The tremendous growth thus seen in the waste management sector is going nowhere even in the face of a recession this summer. Bill Gates sure called this sector a few years ago when he invested gobs of money into it becuase he saw an oppertunity. Well, folks that oppertunity is still there, and I see this entire sector continuing up. The laughable P/E of all of these companies will soon disappear. Time to jump on board if you haven't already.

The company is increasing its incinerator capacity which should spur strong revenue growth. This year's earnings estimates have increased 15 cents to $2.67 over the past two months.

Going green is cool. Clean up the environment AND make money. Fundamentals aside, this stock has sex appeal and been almost recession proof over the last year.
