Waste Connections is expected to report Q3 2026 consensus revenue of $2.59 billion and earnings of $1.52 per share, while the stock currently trades at $167.90 against an average analyst price target of $198.61. Investors are primarily focused on Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, as management has signaled that margins could exceed the 34% threshold during the period. Profitability is being driven by the company’s proprietary AI-powered commercial pricing tools and the operational scaling of its renewable natural gas (RNG) project portfolio. While waste volumes remain generally soft, analysts expect the company’s disciplined pricing power and acquisition integration to sustain its high-single-digit earnings growth momentum into the fiscal year-end.
