Baron Discovery Fund Randy Gwirtzman | “We recently initiated a position in Casella Waste Systems, Inc., the fifth largest waste management and recycling company in North America. The company has strong pricing power with a focus on less competitive rural markets and high-margin landfill revenue. Casella has driven organic growth while completing more than 80 bolt-on acquisitions over the last seven years. After underperforming in 2025 due to integration issues, we believe margins are set to recover in 2026, supporting renewed earnings growth and valuation expansion. BSD Analysis: Casella is a regional waste operator benefiting from the same brutal economics that protect the industry's giants. Landfills are nearly impossible to permit, making existing assets more valuable over time. Route density and vertical integration drive margin expansion as scale improves. Regional focus allows Casella to outmaneuver national players in local markets. Pricing power is real because trash doesn't negotiate. Capital intensity is high, but returns are protected by regulation and scarcity. This is not a growth-at-any-cost waste story. It's disciplined regional compounding. Casella wins by owning dirt no one wants but everyone needs.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
