Analysts expect Waste Management to report Q2 2026 revenue of $6.71 billion and earnings of $1.99 per share, while the stock currently trades at $238.75 compared to a $256.74 consensus price target.
The primary narrative for this report centers on the rapid scaling of the Renewable Energy segment, which is forecasted to deliver significant year-over-year growth following the completion of several new RNG facilities.
Management’s ability to maintain core pricing yield despite modest volume declines remains a critical factor for margin preservation. Investors are also looking for progress updates regarding the integration of the Stericycle acquisition and its expected cost synergies in the healthcare solutions platform.
