Casella Waste Systems stock gained 2.02 percent on October 7, 2026, on Nasdaq. The move puts the waste and recycling company back on the market's radar as investors weigh operating growth against limited GAAP earnings.

Revenue growth remains strong

In its second-quarter 2026 earnings call, dated August 7, 2026, Yahoo Finance reported revenue of USD 543.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 16.9 percent from the prior-year quarter. Acquisition activity contributed USD 46.2 million, while same-store growth added USD 32.2 million.

Adjusted EBITDA reached USD 123.2 million, an increase of 12.5 percent year over year, but the adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 22.7 percent from the comparable period. Fuel recovery fees offset higher fuel costs, while the company also cited pressure from its Resource Solutions business.

Guidance highlights the tradeoff

Yahoo Finance reported that management raised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to USD 2.09 billion to USD 2.11 billion. The same update kept adjusted EBITDA guidance at USD 473 million to USD 483 million and adjusted free cash flow guidance at USD 200 million to USD 210 million.

The counterweight is GAAP profitability. Management lowered fiscal 2026 GAAP net income guidance to USD 0 million to USD 6 million, citing higher amortization expense and income taxes. That gap between adjusted cash generation and reported earnings remains central to the investment case.

Next results arrive in November

Yahoo Finance lists November 5, 2026, as Casella Waste Systems' next earnings date. The company provides integrated solid waste, recycling and resource management services in the eastern United States, according to its investor-relations page at Casella Waste Systems.
