The declaration comes as part of the company’s regular quarterly dividend program. Payment of future dividends remains subject to the discretion of GFL’s Board of Directors, according to the company’s press release statement.
In other recent news, GFL Environmental reported a robust performance in the first quarter, surpassing expectations by $14 million, which has led Citi to increase its price target for the company from $53.00 to $56.00 while maintaining a Buy rating. JPMorgan, however, downgraded GFL Environmental from Overweight to Neutral, despite raising its price target to $54.00, citing concerns about the company’s EBITDA margins in comparison to its peers. GFL Environmental has also resumed its share repurchase initiative, with approval to buy back up to 28,046,256 subordinate voting shares over a 12-month period. The company has already repurchased 7,618,758 shares, leaving a balance of 20,427,498 shares available for repurchase. Additionally, GFL Environmental declared a 10% increase in its regular quarterly cash dividend, raising it from US$0.014 per share to US$0.0154 per share. The company’s recent sale of its Environmental Services business has helped reduce its leverage and streamline operations, positioning it favorably for future growth. GFL Environmental has reported $85 million in acquired annualized revenue year-to-date, with significant potential for further mergers and acquisitions. The implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility in Canada is expected to provide a near-term boost in volume for the company.
