Waste Connections, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Waste Connections, Inc. filed a Form 8-K on February 11, 2026 announcing its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results and issuing its full-year 2026 outlook via a press release (attached as Exhibit 99.1). The company is organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada. The filing includes forward-looking statements about expected 2026 financial results and potential acquisition activity and was signed by Mary Anne Whitney, Executive VP and Chief Financial Officer.

Key Details

• Press release date: February 11, 2026; attached to the 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
• Announced items: fourth-quarter 2025 results, full-year 2025 results, and full-year 2026 outlook (financial details are in the press release).
• Forward-looking statements: the release contains forward-looking information about 2026 results and potential acquisitions and warns that actual results may differ due to risks described in the company's SEC and Canadian filings.
• Legal note: information in Items 2.02 and 7.01 is “furnished” (not “filed”) and therefore not subject to Section 18 liability; company has no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• Earnings and the company’s 2026 outlook are primary drivers of investor decisions and can affect the stock price; retail investors should read the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the specific revenue, earnings, and outlook figures.
• The forward-looking caution reminds investors to consider the company’s disclosed risks and recent SEC/Canadian filings when evaluating the outlook or any potential acquisition statements.
• Because the company furnished — rather than filed — this information, it’s important to rely on full SEC filings (quarterly/annual reports and risk disclosures) for comprehensive, legally filed details.
