The comparison with environmental-services peers was mixed at 10:39 a.m. EDT on October 20, 2026.

One reporting date is scheduled

WM announced on September 24, 2026 that it will release third-quarter results after the market close on October 27, 2026 and hold its conference call on October 28, 2026. The next report date gives the valuation debate a defined near-term checkpoint.

What the target changes mean

BMO's USD 232.00 target is above the NYSE quote, while Morgan Stanley's USD 220.00 target is below it. That USD 12.00 spread between the two October targets is narrower than the USD 33.00 gap between MarketScreener's low and high targets, leaving analyst views broadly dispersed.
