Latest operating frame
Waste Management's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026, and the company posted revenue of $1.37 billion in that period according to the same MarketBeat summary. EPS came in at $0.14, below the $0.17 consensus estimate, while revenue exceeded the $1.33 billion forecast by $40 million.
That combination matters because it shows the top line beating expectations while profitability lagged the estimate by $0.03 per share. The same quarter also carried a negative net margin of 3.28 percent and a return on equity of 4.14 percent.
Waste stream scale
Waste Management's core business still rests on collection, disposal, recycling and landfill services for municipal and commercial customers. In the latest quarter, that mix translated into $1.37 billion in revenue and a volume base large enough to support a $87.69 billion equity valuation.
