Wolfe Research analyst Nigel Coe assumes Waste Management (NYSE:WM) with a Peer Perform rating.
Bill Gates’ Cascade Investment fund has been on a major buying spree in this "garbage" stock.
Waste Management reported Q2 2026 earnings that beat EPS estimates ($2.02 vs $1.99) but missed revenue expectations ($6.68B vs $6.71B). The company benefited from strong pricing discipline (5.7% core price increase) and expanded EBITDA margins to 30.9%, though Collection and Disposal volumes declined 1.8%. Despite solid operational performance and strong free cash flow growth of 34.5%, WM stock has declined 6.5% since the earnings report, with analysts trending estimates downward and assigning the stock a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating.
