Waste Management (ISIN US94106L1098) was trading at EUR 187.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:37 p.m. CEST, up 1.60 percent from the prior close of EUR 184.83. The company entered the session with second-quarter revenue up 4.00 percent year over year to USD 6.68 billion, while analysts cited by MarketBeat put the average 12-month price target at USD 258.89 on October 6, 2026.

Second-quarter growth came with a split signal

According to Financial Report Insights, second-quarter 2026 net income rose 8.10 percent year over year to USD 785.0 million, and GAAP diluted earnings per share increased 8.30 percent to USD 1.95. Revenue growth was slower than profit growth, giving investors a concrete measure of operating leverage in the quarter.

The same report said operating margin reached 18.70 percent in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 17.90 percent a year earlier. Collection and Disposal revenue increased to USD 5.479 billion from USD 5.281 billion, while Healthcare Solutions revenue declined to USD 638.0 million from USD 646.0 million.

Analysts keep a higher dollar target

MarketBeat reported that 13 of 19 analysts rated Waste Management a Buy and six rated it a Hold on October 6, 2026. The USD 258.89 average target sits alongside a Moderate Buy consensus, but it is a dollar-denominated market estimate and is not directly compared with the euro quotation from Lang & Schwarz.

For the company, the central tension is visible in the operating mix: profit grew 8.10 percent while total revenue grew 4.00 percent in the second quarter of 2026. That spread supports the earnings story, but the lower Healthcare Solutions revenue shows that integration benefits depend on cost control as well as demand.

October earnings date sets the next test

Waste Management is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 results after the market close on October 27, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The report will show whether pricing and productivity can continue to offset softer volumes after the second-quarter revenue increase.

On the NYSE, Waste Management's 52-week range was USD 194.11 to USD 248.13 as of October 7, 2026. Its market capitalization was USD 84.1 billion on the same date, while the Lang & Schwarz price was EUR 187.78, plus 1.60 percent versus the EUR 184.83 prior close of October 6, 2026, at 3:37 p.m. CEST.
