Reason
Melius Research analyst Rob Wertheimer initiated coverage of WM with a Buy rating and $263 price target. Despite the market's growing appreciation for the quality of the waste industry leaders, there is more outperformance to come in both the short and long run, from lower risk, less downside to earnings, and higher growth, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that while the stocks' relative multiples are roughly in line with historical levels, the premium deserved now is larger than in the past. Waste leaders benefit from inflation, with strong pricing power, often with prices contractually linked to inflation, contends Melius.

Neutral -> Overweight
Reason
JPMorgan analyst Tami Zakaria upgraded WM to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $277, up from $225, after assuming coverage of the waste services sector. The stock's multiple has remained stable versus peers re-rating, as the Stericycle acquisition and ongoing renewable natural gas project spending "have been met with skepticism," the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm expects WM's valuation gap versus peers narrow longer term, driven by revenue and cost synergies in Stericycle and sustainability projects gaining traction. It sees runway to raise Stericycle's core growth profile.

Reason
HSBC analyst Wesley Brooks upgraded WM to Buy from Hold with a price target of $265, up from $210. The firm says the combination of a "rapidly evolving" tariff landscape and growing concern around the trajectory of consumer and economic growth make for an uncertain near-term outlook for many U.S. industrial stocks. In this environment, investors should focus on "quality stocks that deliver high and sustainable margins and returns," with limited tariff exposure, and can continue to grow earnings even with a weaker economic scenario, the analyst tells investors in a research note. HSBC believes WM offers limited risk from tariffs and the economic cycle, and attractive long-term growth.

Scotiabank raised the firm's price target on WM to $260 from $255 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm believes the North American solid waste sector remains attractive due to its pricing power, marketing and acquisitions, solid free cash flow, and shareholder-friendly actions, the analyst tells investors. Additionally, the recent stock market volatility could further attract investors given the sector's defensive attributes, the firm adds. Scotiabank sees better risk/reward in WM.
