Frequently asked questions
What is Gfl Environmental Holdings Inc's revenue?
Gfl Environmental Holdings Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $6.70B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is GFL?
In its most recent fiscal year, GFL ran a gross margin of 20.67%, an operating margin of 6.04%, and a net margin of 57.95%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does GFL generate?
GFL produced $174.60M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
