Notable Price Movement
- Aug 3-7$225.250.57%
Waste Management fell 5.91% over the period, from $239.41 to $225.25. The decline was concentrated in the July 29-30 selloff, when the stock dropped from $236.60 to $226.33, before trading essentially flat on July 31 and August 3 and slipping another 0.5% on August 4. The supplied Q2 coverage highlighted 5.5% operating EBITDA growth, or 9.1% excluding prior-year wildfire-cleanup contributions, helped by pricing discipline, cost controls and technology investments. However, softer volumes and the company’s decision to maintain profitability guidance appear to have left investors focused on underlying growth limitations. Broader context included an AI-related sell-off and interest in lower-beta stocks, but no separate company-specific announcement was supplied.
