CWSTCasella Waste Systems, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~20% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 20% a year.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 194.2 vs a 75.2 median over 22 quarters (+158% vs median).
Sector median 21.2× across 246 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
