Guidance from management

What management said
Yes. I mean you could assume that for sure. I mean we -- as Allan said, we believe in the value in repurchasing shares. And so I think you could assume that for us to make the decision to shift away that, yes, those returns would be at or better than that.
Nelson, it's Allan. Dale is on the line, but he's going to want to comment on this. I think we're looking at the fleet in the context of not just that one opportunity we had, but the continued sort of opportunities that we've already closed and when they're coming online and then what we have in the funnel. But Dale, you probably have some comments on that as well.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns about the sustainability of growth in the Certarus segment and the potential for customer churn in propane. Questions were raised regarding the margin structure of new data center contracts and the risks associated with capital investments in MSUs.
