The consistent COGS and the slight increase in revenue suggest that AWX maintained its profitability in Q4 2024, with the potential for improved financial performance in the Waste Management Services segment. However, the lack of significant revenue growth across all segments indicates a need for strategic initiatives to boost overall revenue.
