POSITIVE IMPACT
Waste Connections plans to repurchase up to 5% of its common shares over the next 12 months. This could potentially increase the stock's price due to the reduced number of shares in circulation.
Share repurchases often lead to an increase in the stock's price as they reduce the number of shares in circulation, thereby increasing earnings per share. However, the actual impact will depend on market conditions and the company's execution of the repurchase plan.
