Revenue reached USD 6.68 billion

Waste Management generated USD 6.68 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, according to MarketBeat. That was 4.00 percent more than in the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted comparisons are not used here because the cited report presents the revenue figure as reported revenue.

The same July 2026 results included earnings per share of USD 2.02, compared with a USD 1.98 consensus estimate, while revenue came in below the USD 6.71 billion estimate. For investors, the combination points to continued top-line growth alongside a more demanding valuation multiple.

Stock sits inside its yearly range

The primary-market quote was USD 224.19 at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 15, 2026. That price was inside Waste Management's 52-week range of USD 194.11 to USD 248.13. The distance from the primary-market price to the yearly high was 9.64 percent, calculated from the same October 15 quote and range.

Waste Management's market capitalization was USD 89.6 billion on October 15, 2026, and its trailing price-to-earnings ratio was 31.75. The trailing dividend yield was 2.00 percent. These figures place the stock in a valuation-led market conversation rather than a purely operational one.

Comparison with peers

Waste Management: price-to-earnings ratio 31.75, market capitalization USD 89.6 billion.

Republic Services (NYSE, USD): plus 2.32 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 32.53, market capitalization USD 70.3 billion.

Clean Harbors (NYSE, USD): plus 0.17 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 38.81, market capitalization USD 16.9 billion.

Price stays central for investors

Waste Management combines second-quarter revenue growth of 4.00 percent with a 31.75 trailing price-to-earnings ratio and a 2.00 percent dividend yield. The key market question is therefore how the next reported period develops relative to the current valuation, rather than whether the company has operating scale.
