GFL Environmental (TSX: GFL) is nearing a deal to acquire Secure Waste Infrastructure (TSX: SES) for more than $6 billion, according to a Bloomberg report, in a transaction that would deepen consolidation in Canada’s waste sector and give a larger footprint in Western Canada and North Dakota.
The proposed deal values Secure at roughly $24.50 per share, or about 15% above its last closing price.
The consideration would reportedly be about 20% cash and 80% stock, which suggests GFL is aiming to preserve balance-sheet flexibility while still putting a premium on Secure’s infrastructure base.
For GFL, the size would be meaningful but not out of character. The company generated $6.62 billion of revenue in 2025, including $1.69 billion in Q4, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $508.7 million.
GFL has also been actively reshaping its portfolio. In January 2025, the firm agreed to sell its environmental services business in a transaction valued at $8 billion, with expected cash proceeds of about $6.2 billion after taxes and retained equity.
On the other hand, Secure reported $501 million in full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA and guided for $520 million to $550 million in 2026 adjusted EBITDA. In Q4 alone, revenue rose to about $372 million and adjusted EBITDA increased to $135 million. The company also returned $373 million to shareholders in 2025 and raised its quarterly dividend by 5% to $0.105 per share.
Secure is operating processing, recovery, and disposal infrastructure across Western Canada and North Dakota, which gives GFL exposure to a denser network of industrial and energy-linked waste assets. Its market value was around $4.6 billion to $5.5 billion around Friday.
This comes after GFL recently agreed to buy Frontier Waste Solutions from BGL, though terms were not disclosed.
