Argus Research analyst John Eade initiates coverage on $Waste Management (WM.US)$ with a buy rating, and sets the target price at $240.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 68.7% and a total average return of 14.5% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Waste Management (WM.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Following a solid third-quarter report, expectations for the fourth quarter appear very achievable, and the outlook for 2025 is becoming significantly more interesting.
The company is poised to achieve significant growth in 2025, bolstered by enhanced gains from its investments in sustainability, strategic mergers and acquisitions, and improvements in its core solid waste segment, though it is believed that this positive outlook is already factored into the present market valuation.
The firm observes that shares experienced an uptick following WM's surpassing of third-quarter top and bottom-line consensus and the elevation of its fiscal year 2024 free cash flow guidance to a midpoint that exceeds expectations. WM's commitment to technology-driven productivity investments continues to enhance favorable industry-level price cost dynamics, paving the way for potential core margin expansion into fiscal year 2025.

阿格斯分析師John Eade首次給予$美國廢物管理 (WM.US)$買入評級，目標價240美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為68.7%，總平均回報率為14.5%。
此外，綜合報道，$美國廢物管理 (WM.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
繼一份穩健的第三季度報告之後，對第四季度的預期似乎是可以實現的，2025年的前景變得更加有趣。
該公司有望在2025年實現顯著增長，這得益於其在可持續性投資、戰略合併和收購以及核心固體廢物領域的改善所帶來的收益，儘管據信這種樂觀的前景已經納入當前的市場估值。
該公司觀察到，在WM超過第三季度收入和利潤共識以及將其2024財年自由現金流預期上調至超出預期的中點之後，股價出現了上漲。WM對技術驅動的生產力投資的承諾繼續增強了有利的行業價格成本動態，爲2025財年的潛在覈心利潤率擴張鋪平了道路。
