WM, previously known as Waste Management, increased its dividend
7.1% and authorized up to $1.5 billion in share buybacks, which the
company said reflected its consistent cash flow generation.
The Houston-based trash and recycling collection company said
Monday it would pay a quarterly dividend of 75 cents in 2024, up
from a prior payout of 70 cents this year.
The dividend, equal to $3 a year, represents an annual yield of
1.7% based on the Monday closing price of $173.38.
The company said the raise was its 21st consecutive year lifting
its payout.
WM said the buyback authorization superseded the repurchases
authorized under the prior $1.5 billion authorization from
2022.
Chief Executive Jim Fish said the company's cash flow would
allow it to continue to allocate capital to shareholder
returns.
