Summary
Investing in CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS can be a mixed bag. In the second quarter of FY2023, total revenue saw a slight 2.1% year-on-year increase, but net income decreased by an alarming 69.2%. This could suggest that while the company is still able to bring in revenue, it may be struggling to turn that into profit. Investors should watch out for signs that the company is able to reduce its costs and improve its profitability going forward.
