I simply used the screener to identify 1-star companies with the highest 52-week gain. The 1-star rating should mean they are bad companies and the 52-week gain should mean they are overpriced. We’ll see how it works!

P/E is 910 (!) with high debt ratio and poor revenue.

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.

Hard to put faith in a stock with a P/E of 910. I'd say there's a lot of optimism about this stock, which I do not believe is supported by the business.

The P/E ratio is astronomical. But soon they won't have any earnings to speak of anyway.

company has a big load of debt, is barely afloat with its margins, and continues to have a sinking stock price. old saying in industry "YOUR TRASH is OUR CASH" DOESN'T seem to apply!

Um, yeah. Usually I avoid companies with a P/E of 467. That's just a little too high, you know? I honestly don't see much of anything going for these guys. Margins are shrinking, the company is borrowing money, nothing that a P/E of even 30 could justify. To justify this super-high valuation, earnings need to rise quickly or the stock needs to fall. Folks, earnings aren't going to rise, this stock is going to fall.

Casella is a waste disposal company, but they are working hard on a move to more recycling. Many companies are looking forward to "zero waste", so they need to reuse or recycle the things they can't eliminate altogether. Some folks a hoping to hit waste producers with fees, taxes, fines, so I think Casella might be ahead of the game if they come up with green solutions.

This small cap stock will still underperform the S&P for now but I think it has seen its bottom and for the next few month it will pick up and move higher
