Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Maguire double upgraded Waste Management (WM) to Buy from Sell and raised his price target for the shares to $107 from $84. The analyst also raised his Waste sector view to Attractive from Neutral. Given the age of the current business cycle and expectations for slowing economic growth, now is the right time to own Waste stocks, Maguire tells investors in a research note. The Waste sector not only compounds earnings growth at a higher rate than the overall market, but it does so with much less volatility and drawdowns in its earnings, adds the analyst. He believes the Waste sector that should be a core holding in every portfolio, especially "so late in the economic cycle." The analyst likes shares of Waste Management saying it has the lowest price-to-earnings multiple in the sector and is currently trading at an 11% discount to its primary peer Republic Services Group (RSG). Maguire also reiterates a Buy rating on Waste Connections (WCN) with 21% upside to his new $94 price target. He reiterates a Neutral rating on Republic Services with only 4% upside to his new $79 price target.
