WM has a stable business model and enjoys a wide economic moat rooted in intangible assets (regulatory permits for landfills) and cost advantages (route density).
Management has streamlined the firm's cost infrastructure, optimized the efficiency of collection operations, and improved pricing execution in the core traditional solid waste business.
Significant investments are planned for renewable energy generation and recycling projects. These projects should support stronger earnings and free cash flow growth and raise the firm's already strong ESG profile.
