5 Revealing Analyst Questions From Waste Management’s Q3 Earnings Call
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
Waste Management's Q3 results missed Wall Street estimates, with revenue at $6.44 billion and earnings per share slightly below expectations. Lower recycled material prices and slower healthcare services growth were the main culprits. Despite challenges, the core waste collection and disposal business remained robust, contributing over half of the year-over-year increase in operating profits. CEO James Fish highlighted disciplined pricing and maintaining disposal volumes, while the healthcare side saw delayed price increases and customer credits to ensure long-term client satisfaction. Investors reacted negatively, sending stock prices down, and analysts questioned the company's healthcare solutions strategy and future price increases. With uncertainty surrounding the healthcare business's recovery, all eyes are on Waste Management's ability to manage costs, adapt to shifting recycling markets, and leverage technology and automation for growth.
