Waste Management Inc
How the company evolved, year by year. Revenue and debt come from the annual statements; dividends from the payments themselves, which reach further back.
The bars are a balance on the closing date; the lines are what happened during the year. Revenue above equity is ordinary, not an anomaly — it means the company turns its capital over more than once a year.
