The company reported earnings per share of $1.93, compared with consensus expectations of $1.95. Revenue for the quarter came in at $6.31 billion, shy of the $6.39 billion analysts were forecasting. Those results were followed by a decline in Waste Management stock in pre-market trading.

What the filings show and what is limited
The SEC Form 4s provide a narrow window into the timing, pricing, and legal basis for Carrasco’s stock movements: a settlement of performance awards under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, subsequent disposals, and a later small open-market sale. The filings also reconfirmed basic company metrics disclosed by Waste Management, including net income, dividend history, and beta. Beyond the discrete transactional and financial facts disclosed, the filings do not provide explanations for the timing of individual trades or link the trades to operational drivers.
