Strong Buy

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.
