This is a durable compounder with a focus on steady growth. The current thesis state reflects a cautious watch due to recent financial performance that lags behind industry peers.
The market currently assumes a fair valuation for WM, with a slight premium compared to peers. There is a low expectations gap, indicating that the market does not expect significant changes in performance in the near term.
Management is on track to expand adjusted operating EBITDA margins and increase free cash flow. However, recent financial performance has been weak, and there is a low probability of missing expectations, though the company has missed in recent quarters.
The long-term thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like RSG, CLH, and CWST. If these companies continue to perform well, it could provide a favorable backdrop for WM, while any negative guidance from them could pose risks.
