Deep Analysis

The PEG ratio—price-to-earnings divided by expected earnings growth—measures how much investors pay for each unit of growth.

At 5.15x, WM's PEG is far above the sector median of 0.81x, placing it in the 91st percentile among peers, meaning almost all comparable companies have a lower growth-adjusted valuation. The year-over-year change is not reported, but the quarter-over-quarter change is +114.6%, with the PEG climbing from 2.40x to 5.15x in the most recent period. A high and rising PEG suggests the stock's price has outpaced its expected earnings growth, increasing valuation risk if growth disappoints. This metric leans against a bullish case and supports caution, but it does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict—it highlights a stretched valuation while leaving room for growth momentum to justify the premium.
