What Is Waste Management?
Dull business, jumpy crowd.
Waste Management is one of the largest collections, recycling and landfill operator in North America, a business whose moat is permits and routes rather than technology, and which increasingly sells the gas its landfills produce as renewable energy. Nothing about it is fast. Across 273 scored sessions between June 2025 and July 2026 the share price moved 1.8%, from $234.71 to $238.84. The CFGI Waste Management fear and greed index moved from 12 to 80.
The CFGI read: That gap is the entire story. A stock that finished thirteen months roughly four dollars from where it started produced a 68-point sentiment range, an average of 47 out of 100 and five separate days of Extreme Fear. The floor, 12 out of 100 on 29 October 2025 at $197.53, sat inside a four-day Extreme Fear run and a wider sulk, with 104 of 247 stocks in Fear or worse and 11 in the deepest zone. The share price bottomed five days later at $196.77, roughly a dollar below the level at which the crowd had already given up.
Waste Management Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
March 2026 was the mirror image. Its only Extreme Greed came on 2 and 3 March, at 80 out of 100 with the shares at $243.07. The price high followed on 9 March at $246.51. On 10 March the score fell 39 points, from 70 to 31, the largest one-day drop on its record. Eight days, top to floor, with the share price barely moving between them.
Autumn had been worse for longer: 12 consecutive sessions in Fear or worse from 4 to 19 September 2025, ahead of the October collapse. Across the window Waste Management spent 96 sessions in Fear or worse against 76 in Greed or better, a gloomy balance for a company that gets paid whether the economy is good or bad. Five Extreme Fear days rank it 80th of the stocks we track, and its average of 47 makes it the 62nd most fearful crowd we score.
The rebound was as quick as everything else here: a 33-point jump on 23 April 2026, from 31 to 64, and a close at 67, in Greed, on 24 July 2026. Anyone reading only the price line on the whole-market Fear and Greed Index would conclude that nothing happened to this company for thirteen months. The sentiment record says the crowd changed its mind about a rubbish collector at least four times.
