Citi analyst Bryan Burgmeier raised the firm's price target on Waste Connections to $212 from $209 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares.

BMO Capital raised the firm's price target on Waste Connections to $216 from $214 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares after its Q1 earnings beat. Investors have gravitated to ideas with limited impact from the prevailing macro concerns and strong/predictable earnings, the analyst tells investors in a research note. While relative valuation appears a bit stretched, Waste Connections remains a very good option for investors to ride out the current market volatility, BMO added.

Additionally, the recent stock market volatility could further attract investors given the sector's defensive attributes, the firm adds.

Reason
Jefferies lowered the firm's price target on Waste Connections to $210 from $225 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm continues to like the waste group in general given its view that margins should come in at the high-end or above historical levels, driven by "healthy" pricing, a rebound in volumes and company-specific margin drivers. In the group, Jefferies favors companies with idiosyncratic stories, benefiting from defensive business models, improving organic growth, and steady margin expansion, the analyst tells investors.
