Waste Connections, Inc. (WCN)

CAPS Rating:
*****

An integrated solid waste services company that provides solid waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services in mostly secondary markets in the Western and Southern U.S.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Beating the S&P by almost 40%. Decent P/E and good margins. In up or down economy people can't just throw there trash where ever they see fit, especially in an environmentally conscious world like today. WCN managed to stay positive during the last economic downturn and will do the same now.

Waste Connections Inc.posted solid revenue growth and increased earnings Q1 FY08, largely driven by acquisitions, increased prices and increased volume. The company is reasonably solvent, although it needs to improve its liquidity and decrease its debt. It could face some challenges with higher fuel costs, but should outperform if management can contain costs and improve its bottom line.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
