Waste Connections Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jun 23, 2026 Gain 4.82%

The Waste Connections Inc stock price fell by -0.459% on the last day (Monday, 29th Jun 2026) from $167.90 to $167.13. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.83% from a day low at $165.49 to a day high of $168.51. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 7.06% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 637 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 971 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $162.26 million.

The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $167.80 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -3.67% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $141.56 and $161.63 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
