Waste Management (WM) had a more steep fall than the broader market in the recent period, with selling by
Accurate Wealth Management LLC. Despite this, WM raised its dividend by
15%, announced a
$3 billion stock buyback, and reported mixed results for Q3. WM and Denver collaboratively launched a renewable natural gas facility. Predictions suggest a potential upside following the 2026 payout hike and larger buyback. Notably,
Ninety One UK Ltd purchased 16,801 shares of WM. Its shareholders envisage an 'AI-disruption-proof' future in 2026. Positive actions include:
Calamos Advisors LLC buying WM stocks, and
Generate Investment Management Ltd acquiring 64,546 shares. WM plans to transform landfill methane into usable natural gas, upgrading to outperform by Baird, and learning new AI-powered tech.
Analysts highlight WM as a promising dividend stock and expect its earnings to continue growing. More significantly, Q3 earnings showed
record EBITDA margins and strong financial performance. In anticipation of slower growth, WM faces challenges in its margin decline narrative. WM has announced a planned 14.5% dividend increase and $3 billion share repurchase along with positioning its outlook to deliver outsized shareholder returns in 2026.
