2025-06-26
Reason
CIBC raised the firm's price target on WM to $250 from $244 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm said its main takeaway from the company's three-year outlook presented at its Investor Day is that it continues to expect outsized EBITDA and free cash flow growth, with this growth exceeding 2019-2021 targets from WM's 2019 Investor Day. It appears the company is not suffering from the law of large numbers, which addresses a concern that the growth rate will slow relative to peers over the medium term, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

2025-06-25
Reason
Oppenheimer analyst Noah Kaye raised the firm's price target on WM to $255 from $251 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. WM's 2025 Investor Day underscored leadership on utilizing technology and process excellence to drive profitable growth across core and emerging business units, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The above-consensus FY27 financial targets embed fairly ratable growth off the FY25 baseline, with sustainability investments a greater contributor to FY26, the firm says, adding that it views Investor Day color as incrementally positive.

2025-06-25
Reason
BMO Capital raised the firm's price target on WM to $245 from $241 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The presentations by the management reinforced the company's strong outlook for earnings and free cash flow growth over the intermediate term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. WM also continues to have opportunities to add to its already industry-leading digital capabilities, which is increasingly becoming a differentiator for the business, BMO added.

2025-06-09
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.
