AI Signal

Generated Jun 16, 2026

Finlify's signal for WM is AVOID, with a low Finlify Score of 28.5/100, primarily influenced by a very weak fundamental trend and low relative strength.

Technical

The asset's Relative Strength score of 21.9/100 suggests underperformance compared to the broader market. While its 20-day return was a modest 0.3%, the 60-day return indicates a decline of -6.1%, and it currently sits -11.0% from its 52-week high. The Accumulation / Volume score of 49.2/100 appears moderate, and the RSI(14) is near neutral at 49.9.

Fundamentals

A very low Fundamental Trend score of 8.3/100 indicates potential deterioration in underlying business health. Despite a moderate Financial Quality score of 48.2/100, valuation metrics such as a P/E of 32.4x, P/B of 8.9x, and P/S of 3.5x appear relatively high. The asset does offer a dividend yield of 1.66% and exhibits a low Beta of 0.4, suggesting lower volatility.

Macro Context

The current macro environment, characterized by elevated CPI at 4.3% and Core PCE at 3.3% YoY, may present cost pressures for WM. With a 10Y Treasury Yield at 4.5% and a 2Y Treasury Yield at 4.0%, the cost of capital could be a consideration, although the positive yield spread of 0.4% might suggest some economic stability.

Key Risks

  • The very low Fundamental Trend score of 8.3/100 suggests potential weakening in the asset's underlying business health.
  • Valuation multiples, such as a P/E of 32.4x, appear elevated, which may indicate the asset is relatively expensive.
  • A low Relative Strength score of 21.9/100 indicates the asset has been underperforming the broader market.
