Waste Connections Raises Full-Year Outlook After Strong Q2 Performance
Waste Connections reported better-than-expected second-quarter results driven by fuel cost recovery, improved commodity trends, and recent acquisitions. The company posted revenue of $2.56 billion for the quarter, a 6.4% increase year over year, with adjusted EBITDA reaching $840.1 million—up 6.8%. Despite macroeconomic uncertainty affecting solid waste volumes by 1.9%, strong performance in core pricing and landfill gas sales contributed to margin expansion. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to between $10.02 billion and $10.05 billion, reflecting ongoing momentum from M&A activity and improved commodity prices. Waste Connections also highlighted progress on renewable natural gas (RNG) projects, with a third of the planned portfolio already operational and more expected by early 2027.
