Is WM overvalued?

boothcheck doesn't label WM overvalued or undervalued, and it doesn't publish a fair value. It shows what the price assumes instead. At today's price, WM is priced for growth of +8.7%, and an operating margin near 5.9% versus the 17.0% it earns today. Asset, earnings-power and peer-multiple models all land far below the price; ONLY the growth-DCF reaches it. The bet is durable compounding the static frames structurally cannot price (a moat/durability premium). The more the price assumes beyond what Waste Management, Inc has actually delivered, the more has to go right to justify it. Whether that bar is too high is your call, and the full bull and bear cases are in the report.

Derived from Waste Management, Inc's SEC EDGAR filings via a reverse-DCF inversion. Last analyzed June 28, 2026.
