Deep dives

Resilience of Waste Management Stocks

Waste management stocks have demonstrated remarkable resilience, consistently outperforming the S&P 500 over the past decade. The major players in this sector, including Waste Management, Republic Services, and Waste Connections, form a triopoly that dominates North America. Their stability comes from being a less regulated utility subsegment, making them robust against economic fluctuations and recessionary pressures. As a result, increased investment in these companies is viewed as a strategic move for long-term growth and protection against market volatility.
