In the past six months (March to September 2026), Waste Connections reported strong Q1 2026 results with revenue up 6.4% and adjusted EBITDA up 8.0% year-over-year, leading to an increased full-year outlook. In July 2026, the company priced C$700 million of senior notes and again raised its revenue outlook after Q2 2026 results, also declaring regular quarterly cash dividends. An executive offloaded 700 shares in August 2026, and the company renewed its normal course issuer bid for share repurchases. Investor sentiment was impacted by softer volume trends, weaker recycled commodity prices, higher capital expenditures, and delays in reopening its Chiquita Canyon Landfill. Despite these pressures, underlying fundamentals remained resilient. The stock price was $159.44 on September 10, 2026, a 9.19% decline from September 15, 2025, and closed at $155.55 on September 21, 2026.
