Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 4.5% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.

Things to watch

  • Below peers: gross margin. Gross margin of 12.0% ranks 13 of 15 environmental & facilities services companies we cover (median 33.1%).
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 2 of the last four quarters.
