Waste Management Inc: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Waste Management Inc disclose to SEC (Form 4) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Industrials sector and is based in Houston, United States. It was founded in 1968. 16 insiders have disclosed 46 filings since 18 October 2025.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 1 purchase (1 insider, €341k) and 9 sales (6 insiders, €5.6M). Sales outweigh purchases by €5.3M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Those buying include 1 senior executive. Morris John J filed the largest sale, €1.7M, on 9 March 2026.
The clock since the last published purchase (4 November 2025) now reads 348 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 3 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
Compared with its exchange (5,813 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 46 filings is above the norm. Over the whole record (from 2016), the tally stands at 2 purchases and 68 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 25.20 bn USD and net income at 2.71 bn USD; the dividend was 3.30 USD per share.

About Waste Management Inc
Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) is one of the largest integrated environmental services companies in the United States. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, and founded in 1968, the company has grown through a combination of organic expansion and acquisitions into a dominant provider of collection, transfer, recycling, landfill, and waste-disposal services. For international investors, WM is best viewed as a high-quality defensive franchise in an essential industry, supported by recurring cash generation, strong local market positions, and a business model that is tied to non-discretionary demand.
WM operates across several complementary business lines: residential, commercial, and industrial collection; transfer stations; landfill operations; recycling processing and sales; and renewable energy activities tied to waste streams. The company serves more than 20 million residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers through its operating subsidiaries and infrastructure network. This vertically integrated model allows WM to control more of the waste value chain, from pickup to final disposal, while improving operating leverage and strengthening its competitive moat.

Its competitive position is built on scale, network density, route economics, and the scarcity of permitted disposal assets, especially landfills. These characteristics create significant barriers to entry and support stable pricing power over time. WM also benefits from a recognized brand, broad geographic coverage, and a disciplined operating approach centered on efficiency, pricing optimization, and capital allocation. In addition, the company has invested heavily in recycling and renewable energy, which gives it exposure to circular-economy themes and long-duration infrastructure economics.
Geographically, WM has a broad footprint across the United States, with additional operations in Canada. Its earnings profile is therefore primarily North American, which reduces complexity for investors assessing country risk and regulatory exposure. The market typically focuses on organic revenue growth, pricing, volume trends, landfill tonnage, margins, and free-cash-flow conversion.
Recent company developments have been constructive. In December 2025, WM announced a planned 14.5% dividend increase for 2026 and a new $3 billion share repurchase authorization, underscoring management’s confidence in cash generation and shareholder returns. The company also reported first-quarter 2026 earnings, reinforcing the resilience of the platform. On the governance side, SEC Form 4 filings continue to show insider activity, generally reflecting equity award settlements and tax-related share sales rather than unusual signals. WM is listed on the NYSE in the United States, and its scale, essential service profile, and capital-return policy make it a core large-cap industrial-environmental name.
