WM Q3'26 Earnings: EPS estimate is 2.18 USD

What happened

Waste Management, Inc. (WM) will report Q3'26 results on October 27 after the market closes, at 4:00 PM ET. Analysts estimate revenue of 6.81 billion USD and earnings per share of 2.18 USD, according to FactSet data.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Waste Management is a large waste-hauling company, so its results show how much trash volume and pricing it captures. If earnings per share, which means profit divided by shares outstanding, misses estimates, investors may question whether costs are rising faster than revenue.

Analyst inference

Revenue estimates rose each quarter to 6.81 billion USD, yet reported revenue missed estimates in the four prior quarters shown. Earnings per share beat estimates in the two most recent quarters, so investors are weighing steady revenue growth against repeated shortfalls.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. WM reports after the market closes on October 27 at 4:00 PM ET, so the stock's reaction will come in the next trading session rather than during regular hours. Confirmed
2. Watch whether reported revenue reaches the 6.81 billion USD estimate, since prior quarters missed revenue estimates, which means actual sales fell short of analyst forecasts. Proposed
3. Watch earnings per share against the 2.18 USD estimate; the last two quarters beat estimates, so a miss could suggest rising costs are squeezing profit per sale. Analyst inference
