How has Waste Management moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 3% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 1% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 10 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Waste Connections, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 58.7% evidence confidence.
Waste Management, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
Waste Management, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 12 Waste Management companies compared here, at $25,413 million. Republic Services, Inc. is next at $16,696 million. American Battery Technology Company has the highest Revenue growth at the 100% top of the scoring scale, so level and change sit with different companies.
What the numbers say: Waste Management, Inc. is the scale leader at $25,413 million, 52.2% ahead of Republic Services, Inc.. American Battery Technology Company's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 1600% from a $17 million base, with 8 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Investor read: Waste Management, Inc. is the scale benchmark; American Battery Technology Company is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Waste Management, Inc.'s growth falls below American Battery Technology Company's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Waste Management comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 12 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.

Which companies are included?
All 12 companies in the canonical Waste Management membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. 1 of these is no longer being priced, so its price and relative strength are frozen at the last traded week shown.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 12 Waste Management companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

These 18 answers restate the Waste Management comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 12 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Waste Management company is the biggest?
Waste Management, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $25,413 million, ahead of Republic Services, Inc. at $16,696 million. That covers 9 of 12 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Waste Management company is growing fastest?
American Battery Technology Company has the fastest revenue growth at 100% year on year, across 9 of 12 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Waste Management company has the best profit margins?
Republic Services, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 20.2%, from 10 of 12 comparable companies. American Battery Technology Company shows the biggest recent improvement, at +645.8 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Waste Management company makes the most profit?
Waste Management, Inc. earns the most, at $2,795 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 9 of 12 comparable companies. Waste Management, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 4.5%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Waste Management company earns the highest return on capital?
Seahawk Recycling Holdings, Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 29.8%, across 12 of 12 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Waste Management stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Casella Waste Systems, Inc. screens cheapest at 3.12×. Only 4 of 12 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Waste Management company has the strongest balance sheet?
American Battery Technology Company carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $0 million, from 10 of 12 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Waste Management company is investing most in new capacity?
Waste Management, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $650 million, across 11 of 12 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Waste Management sector beating the market?
Waste Management has underperformed S&P 500 by 2.7% over the last 52 weeks and 7.8% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members.
