Waste Connections shares closed at $154.97 on the New York Stock Exchange on 06/17/2026, down 1.34% on the day according to MarketBeat data. After hours, the quote edged up to $155.15, indicating slightly firmer sentiment coming into Thursday's session.
At that closing level, the company carries an equity market capitalization of roughly $40.0 billion, placing it firmly among the larger listed waste services groups in North America.

Thursday focus on chart and technicals
On a medium-term view, Waste Connections stock trades above its 200-day moving average, which independent chart services currently place in the mid-$140s. That suggests the longer-term uptrend remains intact even after recent pullbacks from the spring peak near $170.
Shorter-term momentum indicators look softer. The stock has slipped below a cluster of recent highs around $165 to $170 and is now oscillating in the mid-$150s area, as traders react to broader market volatility and shifting expectations for US interest rates. Against this backdrop, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has also seen choppy action in recent days, underlining the macro-driven nature of current moves.
