Waste Management Stock Climbs on Sector Headwinds as $310M Volume Slumps to 344th Rank Amid Infrastructure Bets

On September 26, 2025, Waste Management (WM) rose 0.70% while trading volume fell 25.17% to $310 million, ranking 344th in market activity. The stock’s performance contrasted with broader market trends as investors focused on sector-specific dynamics and operational updates.

Analysts noted that WM’s modest gain reflected mixed sentiment among waste management operators. Recent regulatory developments in municipal waste processing and potential cost pressures from rising fuel prices remained key concerns for the sector. However, the company’s recent infrastructure investments and long-term contracts provided some downside protection against short-term volatility.

To run this back-test accurately I need to pin down a couple of practical details and confirm some assumptions: Universe: Should we rank every common stock listed on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX (≈6 000 names), or do you have a different universe in mind (e.g., only S&P 500 constituents)? Weighting & rebalancing rule: I will treat the 500 selected names as equal-weighted for the single-day holding period unless you prefer value-weighted or another scheme. Trade prices and slippage: I plan to “enter” at the next-day open and “exit” at the same day’s close (standard intraday model). No transaction costs or slippage will be applied unless you specify otherwise. Benchmark / performance metrics: I will calculate the strategy’s cumulative return, annualised return, volatility and max drawdown. Do you also want an explicit benchmark (e.g., SPY) included? Please let me know if these assumptions work or if you’d like any changes. Once confirmed, I’ll proceed with the data-gathering plan and run the back-test.
