Waste Management (US94106L1098) was trading at EUR 182.58 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 1:34 p.m. CEST, up 1.08 percent versus the prior close of EUR 180.63. In a September 24, 2026 release, WM set October 27, 2026 for its third-quarter financial results, with an investor conference call scheduled for October 28.

Second-quarter revenue rose 4.00 percent

Waste Management's second-quarter revenue reached USD 6.68 billion, up 4.00 percent from USD 6.43 billion a year earlier. The comparison matters because the company is entering its next reporting date with higher sales but a market valuation that still depends on execution.

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, quarterly earnings per share were USD 2.02 against a USD 1.98 consensus estimate. That USD 0.04 comparison places earnings execution ahead of expectations, while revenue was slightly below the USD 6.71 billion consensus cited in the same report.

Analyst targets remain above USD 258

MarketBeat reported that Erste Group raised its fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share estimate from USD 8.12 to USD 8.13 in a note issued on September 18, 2026. The report also cited 13 Buy ratings and six Hold ratings, producing a Moderate Buy consensus and an average price target of USD 258.89.

The target is a separate valuation reference from the German-market euro quote. On the NYSE, Waste Management closed at USD 204.45 on October 2, 2026; its 52-week range was USD 194.11 to USD 248.13 and its market capitalization was USD 81.7 billion.

October 27 marks the next report

The October 27 results will test whether the 4.00 percent second-quarter revenue growth can continue into the second half of 2026. WM's operating mix spans collection, recycling, disposal and renewable-energy services, giving the next report several operating areas to quantify.
