AI Signal
Generated Jul 25, 2026
The Finlify signal for WM as of 2026-07-23 is AVOID, indicated by a Finlify Score of 33.7 out of 100, which suggests a generally unfavorable quantitative outlook.
Technical
The asset's Relative Strength score of 39.8/100 and Accumulation / Volume score of 44.8/100 appear below average, which may contribute to the overall signal. Despite these scores, WM has shown positive recent performance with a 20-day return of 6.3% and a 60-day return of 4.9%, and its current price is relatively close to its 52-week high, being only -3.7% away.
Fundamentals
A notable factor contributing to the signal is the very low Fundamental Trend score of 8.3/100, which suggests significant underlying fundamental challenges. The Financial Quality score of 48.2/100 also appears below average. Valuation multiples, such as a P/E ratio of 35.1x, P/B of 8.9x, and P/S of 3.8x, may indicate a premium valuation. WM does offer a dividend yield of 1.66% and exhibits relatively low volatility with a Beta of 0.4.
Macro Context
The current macro environment, characterized by a 3.7% CPI YoY and a 4.7% 10Y Treasury Yield, suggests a period of elevated inflation and higher interest rates. Given WM's low Beta of 0.4, it may appear less sensitive to broader market swings, though the overall economic conditions could still influence its operational costs and demand for services.
Key Risks
- The Fundamental Trend score of 8.3/100 suggests significant underlying fundamental weakness.
- Valuation multiples, including a P/E of 35.1x, may indicate the asset is trading at a premium.
- Upcoming earnings on 2026-07-28 could introduce increased price volatility.
