The 75.50 whaleScore reflects AUM. Smart-money-signal read: WM Q1 2026 flows are net-bullish, led by Capital Research Global's extraordinary +$1.5B add (from effectively $2.3M to $2.0B). RBC +$502M (+110.1%) and DZ Bank +$420M are also explosive adds. Ameriprise +$240M, Goldman +$97M, Barclays +$179M, Wells Fargo +$158M, Franklin +$285M, BlackRock +$409M, State Street +$201M are all meaningful active-manager adds. Sellers are modest (Amundi -$34M, Nordea -$12M, Parnassus -$15M). The defining signal: Capital Research Global's massive new position suggests high-conviction waste-management/defensive infrastructure allocation. Net read: bullish on Waste Management -- institutional managers increasing exposure to defensive infrastructure/utilities-adjacent names.
