Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Jerry Revich initiated coverage of Waste Connections with an Overweight rating and $186 price target. Environmental Services group is down 15% since April due to headwinds in the 15% of the business without pricing power as recycled cardboard prices are down 30% and specialty waste volumes have slowed, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm adds however that cardboard prices are near trough, estimates have been reset at 6% EPS growth, and the group is set to benefit from a free cash flow inflection as vertical integration investments transition to cash flow.

Reason
Bernstein analyst Connor Cerniglia initiated coverage of Waste Connections with an Outperform rating and $200 price target. The firm is positive on the Waste Industry, which stands ahead of an inflection point in free cash flow growth, trading at a decade-low relative valuation. Bernstein believes this is a well-timed initiation: the core solid-waste business is set to improve, while new non-core RNG and Recycling investments become incremental to profitability starting next year. The firm sees upside to consensus estimates and potential multiple expansion in 2026, contingent on solid execution.

Reason
Oppenheimer raised the firm's price target on Waste Connections to $206 from $205 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm notes shares traded up Wednesday after the company beat Q3 top-/bottom-line consensus and guided Q4/preliminary FY26 outlooks in line with the Street. Runway for outsized solid waste margin expansion persists into FY26 as Waste Connections reaps benefits from higher employee retention and technology/infrastructure investments that could structurally improve price retention and productivity, Oppenheimer adds. Meanwhile, commodities and relative valuation are near trough levels, M&A remains a driver for positive revisions, and Q3's large buyback provides a clear signal in the firm's view.
