Strong Buy

Reason

UBS analyst Jon Windham raised the firm's price target on Casella Waste to $135 from $130 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Market uncertainty makes the Municipal Solid Waste sector appealing due to companies' proven earnings resilience and naturally defensive business models, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Strong Buy

Reason

TD Cowen initiated coverage of Casella Waste with a Buy rating and $130 price target. The firm says acquisition growth and free cash flow "durability in good or bad economic times" makes Casella an attractive investment. Tariff implications will have limited impact on the business but if cost inflation re-emerges Casella will be best positioned to increase prices, the analyst tells investors in a research note. TD believes the company's recent landfill volume headwinds may have reversed and that its 2025 guidance "seems very conservative."

Downgrades

Strong Buy

Hold

Reason

Jefferies downgraded Casella Waste to Hold from Buy with a price target of $113, down from $115. The firm cites valuation and its expectations of below peer average margin expansion and moderated acquisition activity in 2025 for the downgrade. In the waste group, Jefferies favors companies with idiosyncratic stories, benefiting from defensive business models, improving organic growth, and steady margin expansion. It finds Casella Waste's valuation "hard to justify."
