Citi Maintains 'Buy' on Waste Management (WMI), Adds Stock to Top Picks Live List
Citi maintains 'Buy' rating on Waste Management Inc (NYSE: WMI), adds stock to Top Picks Live list.
Citi analyst says, "Despite a material upside surprise in 2Q results, the stock is down over 10% off its recent high, due to investor fears that Waste Management will overpay for Republic Services. While it is not yet “game over”, we are increasingly convinced that Waste Management will remain price disciplined, such that if the company does ultimately prevail with Republic, or ends up walking away, it’s a win/win situation, and the stock responds positively...Bottom Line —WMI’s risk/reward is compelling; the best in the industry currently, though we remain positive on all the names. We believe the strong cash flow and purely domestic nature of the company are also pluses."
Waste Management, Inc. (WMI) is a provider of integrated waste services in North America.
