This explanation uses an earlier data snapshot or evidence version. Review its generation date and the current figures, or refresh after signing in.
If you believe WM can sustain its 14.2% revenue growth while maintaining strong EBITDA margins despite higher leverage, then holding is reasonable because the premium valuation is supported by better growth and profitability than RSG; otherwise, the current price looks too rich versus RSG-implied and DCF ranges.
WM’s current price of $224.31 is 9.7% above RSG-based implied price of $202.49, suggesting the market is already pricing in a quality premium. However, the current price remains within both RSG implied range and the historical band, so the valuation is not stretched relative to those reference points.
