7.66 / 10
Outperform
WCN's fundamental score of 7.7/10 reflects good quality, driven by strong equity multiplier (2.54), net profit margin (75.96%), and positive operating cash flow ratio (26.18%). However, weaknesses include a current ratio of 0.67, indicating potential liquidity strain, and a negative asset-MV factor (-0.50), which historically underperforms. These mixed signals place the stock in a superior but not outstanding category, warranting vigilance on balance-sheet health.
