Seasoned market participants apply comprehensive analytical frameworks to derive fundamental worth and identify mispriced opportunities. Since Waste Management's trading price responds to investor sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and market psychology, it can swing far from fundamental value.

Investors typically determine if Waste Management is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections.
