Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $1,012.31, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

Waste Management Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $25.41B, and our model projects it reaching about $33.48B by 2030.
