GFL's Take-Private Bidding War Heats Up as SECURE Deal Closes

  • Take-private bidding war intensifies Two competing private equity consortiums — KKR/Blackstone/Energy Capital and Brookfield/IFM — are bidding for GFL, with CEO Dovigi open to a higher offer and willing to roll his stake.

    This is a major completed event that changes GFL's business mix and financial profile, influencing its value.

  • Stock seen undervalued after FY2025 results FY2025 results showed revenue of CA$6.62 billion, EBITDA of CA$1.99 billion, and free cash flow of CA$755.9 million. Analysts' consensus target of CA$70.55 implies the stock is 17.6% undervalued, highlighting potential upside.

Runyu buys Swiss incinerator tech, posts 16% profit growth, wins Shanxi project

  • Buys Swiss incinerator brand and technology Runyu acquired Switzerland's Stiefel incinerator brand and technology, moving from paying to license foreign know-how to owning it outright. That cuts future licensing costs, strengthens its competitive edge in waste-to-energy equipment, and supports its push to sell abroad, which can lift profit over time.

    This is the period's biggest strategic change, shifting Runyu from technology renter to owner.

  • First-half profit up 16%, revenue up 36% Runyu's first-half 2026 revenue rose 36.05% to 1.154 billion yuan and net profit rose 16.03% to 228 million yuan, with operating cash inflow up 27%. Steady growth and cash generation support the share price, though profit grew slower than revenue, hinting at thinner margins.

    Earnings are the core fundamental driver of the stock's value.

  • Chairman proposes interim cash dividend Chairman Li Bo proposed paying 0.7 yuan per 10 shares in cash for the interim period. A dividend returns cash directly to shareholders and signals management confidence in the business, which tends to support the stock price.

    A new payout decision is a concrete capital return to shareholders.

  • Wins Houma waste incineration project in Shanxi A Runyu-led group won the Houma waste-to-energy project: 800 tonnes per day, 40-year concession, 131 yuan per tonne fee. It expands the order book and Shanxi presence, but the company says it won't move short-term results much.

    New contract wins show demand for its core business and future revenue.
