$WM In for a penny, in for a pound...of garbage. But, the company is a great one, even though its balance sheet is still a bit rich. I own this garbage (company) and will continue to hold. Hey, over the long haul, trash is cash. Overall, bullish into the next couple years.

$WM $SPY Excellent run since the bounce off 200. Offloading half here with decent profit. Currently overbought on RSI. Look for bounce off 250 for reverse trade. Easy money 💵

$WM Can WM widen its margin again after fuel and risk-management costs trimmed its Q3 adjusted margin to 31.0% from 31.1%? 🏢 WM, which runs North America's largest disposal network and collection fleet and was worth about $91.37B at $228.58 a share at 12:01 ET on October 28, 2026, grew Q3 2026 revenue 6.3% to $6.846B 📉 Its adjusted operating EBITDA margin still slipped to 31.0% from 31.1% a year earlier, because higher fuel and risk-management costs took 40bp each, more than the 40bp from pricing and 30bp from Healthcare Solutions, even as adjusted operating EBITDA rose 5.8% 💰 Nine-month free cash flow jumped to $3.01B from $2.11B, funding $957M returned to holders in Q3 and a $2B buyback plan for 2026, of which $1.58B is done 📅 Next: John Morris takes over from Jim Fish as CEO effective Jan. 4, 2027, inheriting the job of holding margins against fuel and risk-management costs Source: WM Q3 release, SEC 8-K, Oct 27 + 8-K, Aug 26

$WM Q3 revenue came in at 6.85 billion dollars, up 6.3%, a bit ahead of the 6.8 billion expected. Adjusted EPS was 2.15 dollars though, just under the 2.18 dollar consensus. Core price was 5.8% and collection and disposal volume slipped 0.4%, so pricing carried it again. The smaller lines beat their forecasts, recycling at 441 million dollars, up 18.6%, and renewable energy at 167 million, up 45.2%. Free cash flow is up more than 42% through nine months to 3.01 billion dollars, and management now expects full year revenue and free cash flow at the high end of their ranges.

$WM reports earnings today after the close. I used Stock Meadow’s earnings dashboard to review its history: WM has beaten EPS estimates in 5 of its last 8 reports. Analysts expect EPS of $2.18. What are you watching for?

$WM never will invest because this company is such a piece of garbage and absolutely suck to deal with.

$WM Reports Q3 on Tuesday after the close. Zacks consensus is 2.18 dollars in EPS, up 10.1% YoY, on 6.8 billion dollars in revenue, up 5.6%. The growth is not really coming from the core business though. Collection and disposal is expected at 5.5 billion dollars, up just 4%, while recycling is forecast up 16.2% and renewable energy up 39.4%. Those two are still only about 9% of revenue combined, so pricing in the core business still decides the print.

$WM reports Tuesday after the close. Consensus is 2.18 dollars a share on 6.8 billion dollars of revenue, up 10.1% and 5.6%. The growth looks pretty concentrated though. On Zacks' segment estimates, renewable energy and recycling supply about 29% of the year-over-year revenue increase on under 9% of sales, while the core collection and disposal business is modeled at just 4% growth. Q2 already showed the shape of it, core price up 5.7% while collection and disposal volume fell 1.8%. EPS growing at roughly double the revenue rate makes this mostly a margin test, into a stock that's already up about 15% in a month.

$WM ol' faithful. and they have the cash to buy up those pesky ma and pa waste management start ups

$WM when oil is up this much, WM passes the extra cost to the customers, that will turn higher revenue for the company . This earning report this company will beat the revenue numbers.
