Waste Management Boosts Profits on Pricing and Recycling Gains
Waste Management reported a surge in third-quarter profit to $820 million, up from $603 million a year ago, as the company leveraged disciplined pricing strategies and expanded its renewable energy portfolio. These results prompted management to signal that full-year revenue will likely land at the top end of their guidance range.
Growth was fueled by a combination of higher energy surcharges and increased activity within the company’s recycling and renewable energy divisions. Additionally, the Healthcare Solutions segment contributed to the upward momentum with a 3.7% revenue increase. Looking ahead, Waste Management updated its outlook for the full year, positioning its revenue expectations at the high end of its prior $26.28 billion to $26.48 billion forecast, aligning closely with market projections.
