May 12, 2026
Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Recent Share Performance and Business Scale Waste Management (WM) has recently drawn attention after a period of softer share performance, with the stock down about 6% over the past week and about 7% over the past month. For readers tracking the longer stretch, the stock is down about 8% over the past 3 months and about 2% year to date, while the 1 year total return shows a decline of about 4%.

These results are supported by a broad set of collection, disposal, recycling, renewable energy and regulated waste services. See our latest analysis for Waste Management. At a share price of US$214.11, the stock has recently lost some momentum, with short term share price returns weaker while longer term total shareholder returns over 3 and 5 years remain solidly positive. If WM's recent pullback has you rethinking sector exposure, this can be a useful moment to look at infrastructure related opportunities and screen for 37 power grid technology and infrastructure stocks With the stock pulling back while reporting US$25.4b in revenue and US$2.8b in net income, the key question now is simple: are you looking at an undervalued essential services provider, or a stock where the market is already pricing in future growth? Most Popular Narrative: 15.4% Undervalued At a last close of $214.11 versus a narrative fair value of $253.12, the current pricing sits below what the most followed model suggests. This puts the focus firmly on the earnings and cash flow path that underpins that gap. The implementation of technology to supplement the workforce and optimize cost structures is expected to be a significant differentiator for Waste Management, potentially leading to improved net margins. The adoption of automation and technology, such as automated recycling facilities, is leading to improved EBITDA margins, which might provide stronger future earnings. Read the complete narrative. Want to see what powers that valuation gap? It leans heavily on expectations for steady revenue compounding, thicker margins, and a future earnings base that has to carry a premium multiple. Result: Fair Value of $253.12 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

VEOEY vs. WM: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?
May 7, 2026
Investors interested in stocks from the Waste Removal Services sector have probably already heard of Veolia Environnement SA (VEOEY) and Waste Management (WM). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look. There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank favors stocks with strong earnings estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight companies with specific traits. Veolia Environnement SA and Waste Management are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. This means that VEOEY's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in. Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels. The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors. VEOEY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 15.83, while WM has a forward P/E of 27.05. We also note that VEOEY has a PEG ratio of 1.59. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. WM currently has a PEG ratio of 2.31. Another notable valuation metric for VEOEY is its P/B ratio of 2.17. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, WM has a P/B of 8.84. These metrics, and several others, help VEOEY earn a Value grade of A, while WM has been given a Value grade of C. VEOEY sticks out from WM in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that VEOEY is the better option right now.

Here's Why We Think Waste Management (NYSE:WM) Might Deserve Your Attention Today
May 4, 2026
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away. In contrast to all that, many investors prefer to focus on companies like Waste Management (NYSE:WM), which has not only revenues, but also profits. While this doesn't necessarily speak to whether it's undervalued, the profitability of the business is enough to warrant some appreciation - especially if its growing. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. How Quickly Is Waste Management Increasing Earnings Per Share? If you believe that markets are even vaguely efficient, then over the long term you'd expect a company's share price to follow its earnings per share (EPS) outcomes. So it makes sense that experienced investors pay close attention to company EPS when undertaking investment research. Waste Management managed to grow EPS by 8.2% per year, over three years. That growth rate is fairly good, assuming the company can keep it up. Careful consideration of revenue growth and earnings before interest and taxation (EBIT) margins can help inform a view on the sustainability of the recent profit growth. While we note Waste Management achieved similar EBIT margins to last year, revenue grew by a solid 11% to US$25b. That's progress. The chart below shows how the company's bottom and top lines have progressed over time.

Are Waste Management Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders? Since Waste Management has a market capitalisation of US$92b, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a large percentage of shares. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. Notably, they have an enviable stake in the company, worth US$155m. We note that this amounts to 0.2% of the company, which may be small owing to the sheer size of Waste Management but it's still worth mentioning. This still shows shareholders there is a degree of alignment between management and themselves. Story Continues Does Waste Management Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist? As previously touched on, Waste Management is a growing business, which is encouraging. To add an extra spark to the fire, significant insider ownership in the company is another highlight. These two factors are a huge highlight for the company which should be a strong contender your watchlists. You still need to take note of risks, for example - Waste Management has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of. There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares. But for those who consider these important metrics, we encourage you to check out companies that do have those features. You can access a tailored list of companies which have demonstrated growth backed by significant insider holdings. Please note the insider transactions discussed in this article refer to reportable transactions in the relevant jurisdiction. Have feedback on this article?

Is Waste Management, Inc. (WM) A Good Stock To Buy Now?
May 2, 2026
Is WM a good stock to buy? We came across a bullish thesis on Waste Management, Inc. on Roche Capital’s Substack by Pedro Ortiz. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on WM. Waste Management, Inc.'s share was trading at $224.18 as of April 20th. WM’s trailing and forward P/E were 33.46 and 27.17 respectively according to Yahoo Finance.Inno Holdings (INHD) Ends Meme Rally on Profit-Taking Olaf Speier/Shutterstock.com Waste Management, Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides environmental solutions to residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers in the United States and internationally. WM presents a highly shareholder-aligned governance and incentive structure centered on simplicity, cash flow generation, and long-term value creation. The company maintains a clean capital structure with a single class of common shares—one share, one vote—ensuring proportional economic and voting rights, with negligible minority interests and no meaningful preferred equity. Read More: 15 AI Stocks That Are Quietly Making Investors Rich Read More:Undervalued AI Stock Poised For Massive Gains: 10000% Upside Potential This clarity strengthens alignment between management and shareholders. Compensation is heavily performance-driven, with short-term incentives tied to operating income, margins, and organic growth, complemented by a modest ±10% sustainability modifier based on safety, engagement, circularity, and climate metrics. While financial performance remains the core driver, this overlay reinforces responsible operations without diluting focus. Long-term incentives dominate executive compensation, comprising the majority of pay and structured primarily through performance stock units (PSUs) and equity awards vesting over three years. PSUs are equally weighted between operating cash flow and relative total shareholder return (TSR) versus the S&P 500, directly linking management rewards to both fundamental performance and market outcomes. Mandatory share ownership and holding requirements further align executives with long-term equity value. Clawback provisions and post-employment restrictions add an additional layer of accountability. This structure incentivizes disciplined capital allocation, margin expansion, and consistent free cash flow growth, while discouraging excessive risk-taking or short-term manipulation. Although TSR-linked incentives may encourage opportunistic buybacks, the parallel focus on cash flow provides a balancing mechanism. Overall, WM’s framework promotes durable value creation, aligning management decisions with the interests of long-term shareholders and reinforcing a culture focused on operational excellence and capital discipline. Story Continues Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Waste Management, Inc. (WM) by Francesco Ferrari in April 2025, which highlighted the company’s consistent alpha generation, low volatility, strong margins, and steady growth supported by a resilient business model. WM’s stock price has depreciated by 2.91% since our coverage. Pedro Ortiz shares a similar view but emphasizes on WM’s shareholder-aligned governance, incentive structure, and cash flow-driven long-term value creation. Waste Management, Inc. is not on our list of the 40 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 65 hedge fund portfolios held WM at the end of the fourth quarter which was 62 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of WM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.

Analyzing WCN's Growth Drivers & Market Expansion Amid Liquidity Risks
May 1, 2026
Waste Connections, Inc. WCN reported impressive first-quarter 2026 results. WCN’s first-quarter earnings of $1.23 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.4% and increased 8.9% year over year. Total revenues came in at $2.4 billion, marginally surpassing the consensus estimate and rising 6.4% from the year-ago quarter. How Is Waste Connections Faring? The global waste management market expansion provides WCN grounds for growth. Per Grand View Research, the market is expected to see a CAGR of 6% from 2026 to 2033 and reach $2.4 trillion. The company accounts for an estimated 35% of the total industry revenues, making it a powerhouse with a significant market share. Waste Connections pursues buyouts consistently. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the company completed 13, 24 and 19 such acquisitions, respectively. These acquisitions significantly contributed to its top line, with $410.9 million in 2023, $529 million in 2024 and $377 million in 2025. Some notable acquisitions made by Waste Connections include American Disposal Services, Groot Industries and Progressive Waste. WCN is raising market penetration within existing and neighboring markets. It finds customers in the markets where waste collection services or additional services, including compaction or automated collection, are not exclusive. Furthermore, the company is leaning toward modifying its pricing strategies, wherein it will hike prices to offset increased costs to widen operating margins and generate sufficient returns on its deployed capital. The company is committed to rewarding its shareholders despite the fluctuations in cash position, which underlines its dedication to creating long-term value for investors. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, Waste Connections paid out $271 million, $302 million and $334 million in dividends, respectively. Consistent dividends demonstrate the company’s commitment to return value to shareholders and support share prices. Meanwhile, the regulated waste collection and disposal business is characterized by very low barriers to entry. Competitors are inclined to aggressive pricing to gain market share. This capital-intensive industry includes larger and better-capitalized companies, which affects its ability to invest in substantial labor and capital resources. All these factors strip away WCN’s profitability and weaken its margins. Waste Connections’ current ratio (a measure of liquidity) at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was pegged at 0.69, lower than the industry average of 1. The 5% decline in the current ratio from the year-ago quarter due to a rise in accounts payable and a current ratio of less than 1 indicates that the company may have problems paying off its short-term obligations. Story Continues Earnings Snapshot Waste Management, Inc. WM reported first-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues fell short. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.81 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.75 by 3.4%. The bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter’s adjusted figure of $1.67. Revenues of $6.23 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.29 billion by 1.1%. However, the top line increased 3.5% year over year. Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ADP posted third-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $3.37, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.28 by 2.7%. The metric increased 10.1% from the year-ago quarter. Total revenues came in at $5.94 billion, topping the consensus mark of $5.86 billion by 1.4% and rising 7% year over year.

Multi-layer film recycling market Multi-layer films Global multi-layer film recycling market is expanding rapidly, with growing regulatory drivers of plastic waste reduction and extended producer responsibility (EPR), rising corporate sustainability responsibilities and recycled-content targets, increasing availability of post-industrial and post-consumer multi-layer film waste, and technologies of chemical delamination, solvent-based purification, compatibilizer chemistry, and AI-based sorting in the ecosystem of circular economy and plastics recycling. Story Continues Request a Customized Copy of the Multi-layer Film Recycling Market Report @https://www.custommarketinsights.com/request-for-customization/?reportid=81284 What factors significantly contribute to the growth of the multi-layer film recycling market? The increase in post consumer and post industrial multi-layer flexible packaging waste caused by the rapid rise in e-commerce food delivery services, ready to eat meal and high end packaged goods, coupled with the tightening of landfill bans, e-procurement recycling schemes and recycled content requirements in Europe, North America and some parts of Asia has increased the demand for multi-layer film recycling options. With pressure growing on brand owners and converters to use recycled content and yet ensure barrier properties and food safety, increasing numbers of stakeholders are either investing in or teaming with specialized recycling technologies. Various innovations have been seen when it comes to technological advancements such as selective solvent dissolution to separate layers, enzymatic and chemical delamination, high-performance compatibilizers that combine PE/PA and PE/EVOH, AI-vision + NIR sorting systems of pre-consumer laminate waste, and mechanical + chemical hybrid recycling lines that enhance recovery, quality and cost-effectiveness of recycled multi-layer streams. Additional reasons are higher investments in circular economy research and development, the expansion of advanced mechanical recycling plants aimed at flexible films, heightened voluntary actions by CPG firms to incorporate recycled material in flexible packaging and favorable policy environments to encourage chemical recycling and mass-balance certification.

By Distribution Channel The biggest market share lies in the category of direct deals with integrated recycling firms, advanced mechanical recyclers, and chemical recycling technology dealers, which act as the main sources of technology licensing, toll manufacturing, and joint development settlements as well as supplying recycled resins to film converters and film brand owners. These channels offer professional expertise in the qualification of feedstock, optimization of the processes, quality certification and compliance with regulatory requirements (food contact and mass balance), which is why they have become the preferred channels in a multi-layer film waste stream management.

WM's Earnings Surpass Estimates in Q1, Revenues Rise Y/Y
Apr 29, 2026
Waste Management, Inc. WM reported first-quarter 2026 results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues fell short. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.81 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.75 by 3.4%. The bottom line improved from the year-ago quarter’s adjusted figure of $1.67. Revenues of $6.23 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.29 billion by 1.1%. However, the top line increased 3.5% year over year. Waste Management, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Waste Management, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Waste Management, Inc. Quote WM’s Q1 Highlights Waste Management delivered solid profitability in the quarter, backed by disciplined pricing, cost optimization and contributions from sustainability-driven growth initiatives. Adjusted operating EBITDA rose 5.9% year over year, while the margin expanded 70 basis points, reflecting strong execution across the business. The Collection and Disposal segment remained a key growth driver, benefiting from favorable price-to-cost spreads and operational efficiencies. Meanwhile, Recycling and Renewable Energy businesses gained from higher volumes and automation-led improvements. Segmental Performance Revenue growth was primarily driven by core pricing gains of 6.3% and solid yield in collection and disposal operations. However, overall volumes declined 1.5% due to harsh winter weather, strategic shedding of lower-margin residential business and difficult year-over-year comparisons related to prior wildfire cleanup activity. The Healthcare Solutions business delivered strong EBITDA growth during the quarter, supported by effective cost management and synergy realization. Financial Position WM generated robust cash flows during the quarter. The operating cash flow totaled $1.5 billion, reflecting a 24% year-over-year increase. The free cash flow came in at $920 million, significantly higher than $475 million in the prior-year quarter. The company also maintained a strong capital allocation strategy, returning approximately $729 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter. Outlook Management expressed confidence in the company’s momentum and reaffirmed its 2026 outlook. Continued investments in recycling, renewable energy, healthcare solutions and automation are expected to support growth and margin expansion. Conclusion WM delivered a solid earnings beat in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting strong operational execution and margin expansion. While revenues slightly missed expectations, the company’s pricing strength, cost discipline and growing sustainability businesses position it well for the remainder of the year.
