GFL Environmental stock (ISIN CA36168Q1046) was trading at USD 42.55 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, with a daily gain of 0.64 percent. The company appointed Allen Gransch as chief operating officer effective October 1, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

New COO takes operational role

Gransch joined GFL as an executive vice president on September 1, 2026, after the acquisition of SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. He previously held CFO, COO, and chief executive roles at SECURE, while Billy Soffera moved from COO to senior strategic advisor, according to StockTitan.

The leadership change follows GFL's September 1, 2026, completion of the SECURE transaction. The company operates across Canada and 19 U.S. states and reported a workforce of 17,000 employees in the October 1 release carried by Yahoo Finance.

Revenue growth meets a lower EPS

In the second quarter of 2026, GFL reported revenue of CAD 1.95 billion and adjusted EPS of CAD 0.19, compared with a FactSet consensus EPS estimate of CAD 0.23. The figures were reported on July 29, 2026, in the earnings coverage published by MarketScreener.

GFL also raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to CAD 7.51 billion to CAD 7.53 billion, from prior guidance of CAD 7.32 billion to CAD 7.34 billion. That comparison gives investors a clearer test for the SECURE integration than the leadership change alone.

The consensus tracked by StockAnalysis is Buy across 21 analysts, with an average price target of CAD 73.25. The consensus figure is stated in Canadian dollars for the TSX listing, while the reference price here uses GFL's primary NYSE quotation in USD.
