Stericycle (SRCL) is a waste management service provider. Although the company boasts high net margin versus competitors, we believe it is trading at a significant discount due to some pricing pressures, an increase in capital spend for the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system and a levered balance sheet resulting from acquisition activity. Our contrarian call has the potential to be significantly rewarded as transformation initiatives bear fruit over the next several years.
