Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Q2 2026 Adjusted EBITDA reached $129 million; guidance stays near $550 million.
  • GFL's $24.75 per-share deal values SECURE at $6.4 billion.
  • SECURE kept 2026 growth capital at $100 million for constrained Western Canadian projects.

What critics are saying

  • Competition Bureau review remains open on the GFL acquisition, with closing targeted for late 2026.
  • If regulators block GFL, SECURE loses the premium and strategic exit immediately.
  • Dependent on Western Canadian energy activity; drilling slowdowns hit waste and water volumes.

What makes SECURE unique

  • SECURE owns 75 facilities across Western Canada and North Dakota, anchoring dense industrial routes.
  • Its waste, water, and crude infrastructure directly boosts customer netbacks and logistics costs.
  • Metals recycling and gathering pipelines diversify revenue beyond landfill-only peers.
