Trevor Williams/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Action I had a hold rating for GFL Environmental Inc. ( GFL ) previously as I was still worried about the macro backdrop impacting the cyclical segments in the business. My view now is a buy rating. What changed for me is that Q1 showed GFL does not need a macro recovery to keep growing. Pricing stayed very strong, margins expanded again, and M&A continues to drive growth. On top of that, the stock has de-rated to a level that I do not think reflects the durability of the pricing story. Earnings Review Here is a quick recap on the recent Q1 numbers : GFL reported Q1 2026 revenue from continuing operations of CAD1,643.8 million, up 5.4% y/y on a reported basis and 8.5% on an FX-adjusted basis. On an organic basis, revenue grew 4.6%, 7% from price, offset by 1.2% volume, 0.6% surcharges, and 0.6% commodity price. At the consolidated level, solid waste revenue saw CAD1,643.8 million. By segment, Canada adj. EBITDA saw CAD167.8 million, with a segment margin of 31.3% (vs. 27.9% last year). The US did adj. EBITDA of CAD373.2 million and segment margin of 33.7% (flat vs. last year). On a consolidated basis, adj. EBITDA grew 12.3% y/y to CAD478.5 million with adj. EBITDA margin up 180bps y/y to 29.1%. At the bottom line, adj. net income from continuing operations came in at CAD29.5 million. Pricing Keeps Getting Better Bloomberg I am very surprised by how strong the pricing trend continues to be, and looking at Q1, I now believe it may last for a lot longer than I thought. As noted, pricing came in at 7% for Q1, and that was ~25 bps better than management’s expectations. Remember that this 7% is on top of an already strong base (grew 5.7% in Q1 2025) and is the highest over the past 8 quarters. This no longer seems like a “catch-up” phase where old cost inflation rolled through the P&L. It seems that GFL is capturing price structurally, and there are tangible drivers to support this framing. Firstly, management said...

Welcome back to Canada Daily, the newsletter on business, economics and politics from Vancouver to Montreal and beyond. If this was forwarded to you, sign up . It’s going to be the summer of pipeline politics as Alberta moves closer toward its pitch for a new crude oil conduit to the Pacific Ocean. After months of tense talks, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are expected to unveil an agreement on Friday that will lay out a trajectory for the industrial carbon price to rise to C$130 per metric ton by 2040 . The deal resolves one of the trickiest issues of the energy pact signed by Carney and Smith last fall. That memorandum of understanding laid out a grand bargain: a new oil pipeline aimed at serving Asian markets, but only alongside a massive carbon capture system for the oil sands. Crucially, the MOU left the details of the industrial carbon tax to be sorted out through negotiations. The stakes were high: if the two sides couldn’t agree, the carbon capture system wouldn’t have a way to generate revenue to pay for its operating expenses, and the whole pact could come apart. In recent weeks, some of the biggest players in Canada’s oil industry have tried to kill the carbon tax outright , arguing it makes them uncompetitive on the world stage. That effort ultimately fizzled, though it may have given Smith some extra negotiating leverage with Carney. Attention will now turn to Alberta’s proposal for a new pipeline, expected in June. The British Columbia government, environmentalists and some Indigenous groups have already laid out their staunch opposition to the idea. If the carbon tax talks appeared difficult, they’ll likely pale in comparison to the political battle that’s coming. Also in this newsletter: Milken comes to Toronto .

Japan's Refinery Utilization Hits 73% As Strategic Oil Stocks Flow In With global refineries working overtime to convert oil into much needed product, Japan's refinery utilization rates also surged in May, as releases from petroleum reserves and increased supply of non-Middle East crude are easing the crude supply crunch seen in March and most of April, OilPrice reported. For the first time since March, refiners in Japan have boosted their average utilization rate to above 70% in the past two weeks, data from the Petroleum Association of Japan (PAJ) showed on Wednesday. Utilization rate of the designed capacity was 73.3% in the week to May 9, following 77.3% utilization rate the week prior to May 2, the data showed. These run rates compare to utilization rates in the 60% range in April, according to the weekly statistics data released by the PAJ. Resource-poor Japan is one of the biggest energy importers globally and relied on the Middle East for as much as 95% of its oil imports before the war. Most of the oil comes from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Of these Middle Eastern supplies, about 70% typically arrived in Japan on tankers traveling through the Strait of Hormuz. As the war choked supply from the Middle East, Japan began releasing oil stocks from national reserves at the end of March, as part of the IEA-coordinated record-high release of 400 million barrels of oil and fuel. Japan is releasing a total of 80 million barrels of oil stocks, including 54 million barrels of crude and 26 million barrels of oil products as part of the IEA's 400-million-barrel release. The ongoing stocks release, which is Japan's biggest, is helping refiners increase throughput. So is alternative supply from producers outside the Middle East, including rare cargoes from Azerbaijan and Latin America. Some of the largest refiners in Japan, including Cosmo Energy Holdings and Idemitsu Kosan, aim for average utilization rates of more than 90% in the current f...
