Nov 17, 2009 (Zacks.com via COMTEX) --
Waste Management, Inc. (WM) announced that it has priced an underwritten public offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due November 30, 2039. The company expects the notes to be assigned ratings of BBB by both Standard & Poor's and Fitch and Baa3 by Moody's. The offering is expected to close on November 17.
The company said that the net proceeds from the offering will be used to fund certain equity investments and acquisitions and the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes and funding of other potential acquisitions and investments.
In August, the company entered into an agreement to purchase a 40% percent equity investment in Shanghai Environment Group (SEG), a subsidiary of Shanghai Chengtou Holding, for approximately $140 million. As a joint venture partner in SEG, Waste Management will participate in the operation and management of waste-to-energy and other waste services in the Chinese market. The transaction is expected to be approved in early 2010. The company is focused on expanding its waste-to-energy business and is actively pursuing various projects in the United States and internationally.
Further, in October, WM Healthcare Solutions, Inc. acquired Mountain High Medical Disposal Services, Inc., a medical waste collection, transportation and processing company. Management said that this acquisition fits into Waste Management's strategy to manage solid waste, medical, recycling and pharmaceutical waste for the healthcare industry. With this purchase, WM Healthcare Solutions will provide these services to facilities in Salt Lake City as well as Idaho. This acquisition expands the company's capacity and geographic presence to treat and manage waste from healthcare customers.

Waste Management, Inc (WM) Shows Up On Investors Observer Hedged Dividend Income List - Zibb.com
Nov 16, 2009 (Fresh Brewed Media via COMTEX) --
Waste Management, Inc (NYSE: WM) ended the last trading session at $32.18. So far the stock has hit a 52-week low of $22.10 and 52-week high of $33.99. Waste Management stock has been showing support around 31.54 and resistance in the 32.90 range. Technical indicators for the stock are Bullish and S&P gives WM a positive 4 STAR (out of 5) buy rating. WM appears on the Investors Observer Hedged Dividend Income list. For a hedged play on this stock, look at an Apr '10 30 covered call (WM DF) for a net debit in the $28.98 area. That is also the break even stock price for this trade. This covered call has a 152 day duration, provides 9.94% downside protection and a 3.52% assigned return rate for an 8.45% annualized return rate (comparison purposes only). A lower cost hedged play for this stock would use a longer term call option in place of the covered call stock purchase. To use this strategy look at going long the WM Jan '11 22.50 Call (VUW AX) and selling the Apr '10 30 call (WM DF) for a $6.95 debit. The trade has a 152 day life and would provide 8.48% downside protection and a 7.91% assigned return rate for a 19.00% annualized return rate (for comparison purposes only). Waste Management has a current annual dividend yield of 3.58%.
