Waste Connections stock (ISIN CA94106B1013) was trading at EUR 138.95 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 2:28 p.m. CEST, down 0.60 percent from the prior close of EUR 139.79. On the NYSE, the stock was USD 155.16 on October 7, 2026, leaving it 13.68 percent below the USD 179.74 52-week high.

Valuation meets operating growth

Second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 6.40 percent year over year to USD 2.56 billion, while net income reached USD 296.4 million, according to Investing.com. The reported figures give the pullback a measurable counterweight, because revenue growth remained positive even as the primary-exchange quote stayed below its yearly high.

The market value was USD 39.1 billion as of October 7, 2026. Waste Connections operates in the waste-management industry, with collection, transfer, disposal, recycling and resource-recovery activities across the United States and Canada.

Three dated steps shape the story

On July 23, 2026, Waste Connections released second-quarter results and raised its full-year outlook, with second-quarter revenue of USD 2.56 billion, according to Stock Analysis. On September 18, 2026, UBS upgraded the stock from Neutral to Buy and lifted its target from USD 176 to USD 200, as Investing.com reported. On September 30, 2026, the company announced that third-quarter results would follow after the market close on October 21, 2026, according to Business Wire.

What does the pullback mean for valuation

The comparison is two-sided. The USD 155.16 NYSE quote stood 13.68 percent below the USD 179.74 52-week high, while UBS set a USD 200 target on September 18, 2026, a level 28.93 percent above that quote. The target reflects a dated analyst view, not a forecast made by this article.

Simply Wall St described the valuation debate on October 8, 2026 through a fair-value estimate of USD 202.04 and highlighted execution risks around digital projects and Chiquita Canyon cash outflows. Its analysis said Waste Connections was investing USD 100 million across seven AI and digital projects, with management expecting 100 basis points of adjusted EBITDA margin uplift as the projects mature, according to Simply Wall St. The October 21 results date therefore provides the next quantified test for revenue, margins and cash conversion.

Upcoming results set the next date

Waste Connections is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 financial results after the market close on October 21, 2026, followed by an investor conference call on October 22, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. ET, according to Business Wire. The dates place operating execution ahead of the next major reassessment of the valuation gap.
