Set-It-and-Forget-It Stocks to Buy: Waste Management (WM)

They say the only certainties in life are death and taxes, but that’s not quite a complete list.

As long as you’re alive, you’re also going to be throwing rubbish way, which means Waste Management (WM) is as well-positioned for a bright future as any funeral home is.

Thing is, the sheer nature of the business — garbage — turns some people off before they even look at the kinds of numbers WM can (and has) put up.

Try some of these numbers on for size: Five straight years of revenue growth, a dividend yield of 3.2%, five straight quarterly earnings beats, a decade’s worth of rising dividends, and finally, earnings growth in the cards after a multiyear growth hiatus.

These are all numbers that apply to Waste Management right now. It’s not sexy in the least, but it may be the safest and smartest of all the stocks to buy in this search for set-it-and-forget-it names.

THE UPTREND CONTINUES FOR THIS GARBAGE GIANT

Today, we turn our attention to another one of the market's hidden gems in 2016...

Regular readers know we're fans of simple businesses that provide the types of services that will always be in demand. More often than not, these are "boring" businesses that don't dominate the financial headlines.

One example, as we shared last month, is the public-storage sector. As we showed you, selling empty space works. Another simple business that is working right now is trash removal...

Waste Management (WM) is a $25 billion company and a staple in the waste disposal and recycling industry. Collecting garbage isn't a topic you'll overhear folks talking about at cocktail parties... but it has been a winning trade in 2016.

The company provides services in an industry that will never go away. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generate hundreds of millions of tons of trash every year.

As you can see from the chart below, WM shares have been in a solid uptrend since July, rising more than 20%. They're up nearly 40% over the last two years.

And the stock continues to chug along this year while the broad market has suffered. It may not be "sexy," but it works...

THIS INCREDIBLY 'BORING' BUSINESS CONTINUES TO SOAR

Today, we check in on one of the world's most "boring" businesses that continues to beat the market.

Regular readers know we're fans of simple businesses that provide products and services that will never go out of demand. More often than not, these are "boring" businesses that don't get much attention in the financial headlines. One of our favorite examples of this idea is Waste Management...

Waste Management (WM) is a $25 billion waste disposal and recycling giant. It provides valuable services in an industry that will never go away, no matter what's going on with the stock market, interest rates, or politics. Americans will continue to generate millions of tons of trash every year.

This remarkable consistency has been great news for shareholders. Despite recent volatility in the stock market, shares of Waste Management are in a steady uptrend. They're up close to 20% in 2016 – and have nearly doubled over the past five years.

Taking care of other people's trash may not be exciting, but the profits are anything but boring...

THIS BUSINESS IS ALWAYS IN DEMAND

Today, we're highlighting one of our favorite strategies at work... buying companies with simple businesses.

Longtime readers know we're fans of "boring" businesses that provide products and services that folks will always need.

These businesses don't garner much attention in the financial-news headlines. Last week, we checked in on packaged-goods company Conagra (CAG). Today, we'll look at Waste Management (WM)...

The $32 billion trash and recycling giant is North America's leading waste-disposal company. It provides a valuable service in an industry that is always in demand.

People will continue to produce trash no matter what is going on with the economy, the White House, or Wall Street. Its business is simple and easy to understand.

As you can see from the chart below, Waste Management has been in a solid uptrend. Shares recently broke out to an all-time high... and have risen more than 30% over the past year. As long as people still generate tons of waste each year, this uptrend is likely to continue...

Waste Management, Inc. (WM) Stock May Not Be Sexy, But It’s Attractive

WM is the country's largest trash company, and WM stock is a durable cash cow

By Louis Navellier

WM stock is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 28


It's 2.3% dividend may not be sexy, but like the company, it’s attractive and very reliable.

A NEW HIGH IN THIS RECESSION-PROOF BUSINESS

Today's chart is more proof that buying simple businesses is a winning strategy...

Longtime readers know one of the themes we follow in DailyWealth is that "boring" businesses often make for excellent long-term investments.

Earlier this month, we highlighted packaging-industry leader Crown (CCK) as one example of this strategy at work. Today, we'll look at shares of another "boring" winner...

Waste Management (WM) is a $33 billion trash and recycling behemoth. As you might guess, it doesn't garner much attention on Wall Street.

But while the company might not be the subject of conversation at most cocktail parties, it does have one thing going for it: In good times and in bad, everyone needs their waste removed.

This recession-proof business model has been rewarding for shareholders. The company's stock has risen nearly 70%, from around $45 to $75, over the last three years alone.

As Americans keep producing more and more trash – a bet we're willing to make – Waste Management shares should continue this uptrend...

Waste Management

This top company is based in Houston and poised to immediately help with the situation.

Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WM) is the largest nonhazardous waste operator, servicing 21 million customers across 48 states, as well as in Canada.

The company is vertically integrated, owning nearly 400 collection operations, 249 active solid waste landfills, 297 transfer stations and 104 recycling centers.

Being vertically integrated, it has significant economies of scale, with 66% of waste it collects disposed at its own landfill.

The analysts noted this in the Stifel research report:

Waste Management operates the Emile Alabama hazardous waste landfill. It has a broad-based permit for both Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Toxic Substances Control Act wastes including refinery waste.

Shareholders of Waste Management are paid a 2.25% dividend. Note that the $75 Stifel price objective is less than the consensus price target of $79.60, and that the shares were trading early on Tuesday at $76.50 apiece.

Stocks to Buy and Hold: Waste Management (WM)

There’s an old adage … the only two sure things in life are death and taxes.

It’s a humorous point about the limited nature of human life and the far-reaching power of the IRS. But, it’s not necessarily a complete cliche. There’s a third certainty. That is, as long as people are living on the planet earth, they’ll be creating garbage to shuttle to their nearby landfill.

Enter Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM), which runs garbage-pickup services for 21 million North American customers. Although its top and bottom lines ebb and flow, the bigger trend for both is pointed upward.

Look for more of the same too. As CEO Jim Fish pointed out late last month, “The babyboomers are coming into a period of heavy medical spend. All of our parents are aging and spending more on medical spend. There is medical waste generated from that, we are in that business.

The industrial economy is important to us. Whether it’s through repatriation from the new tax law, or just through the fact the U.S. and Canada are great places to do business and the industrial economy is showing some signs of life, we are a big industrial player on the back-end of the cycle.”
