TimesSquare Capital U.S. Mid Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
"In the Industrials sector we gravitate towards business service companies, those focused on automation & efficiency improvements, and essential infrastructure services. GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL) provides non-hazardous solid waste management and environmental services in the U.S. and Canada. Their shares dropped -18% on mixed second quarter results. While earnings outpaced estimates, revenues came up short on lower solid waste volumes. Of note, these appear to be linked to the purposeful shedding of lower margin, non-core businesses inherited from acquisitions. We added to the position on this weakness."
