Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openUnited Rentals is heading into its next earnings report with Wall Street projecting EPS of $13.75 and revenue of $4.67b, both above year-ago figures. Analysts have been nudging their EPS forecasts higher, citing revenue growth, operating margin, and share buybacks as key supports for the business.
An article speculating that United Rentals may beat Wall Street earnings expectations in its next quarterly report, citing the company's track record of beating estimates and what it describes as favorable conditions for another beat.
An analyst at research firm Altimetry argues that companies employing skilled trades and supplying the equipment those workers use could be among the next big winners of the AI buildout, as spending by large cloud computing companies continues to climb. The article does not name any specific companies.
Morgan Stanley said the recent drop in United Rentals' stock, which followed Caterpillar's deal to buy Fabick, is an overreaction and makes shares a buying opportunity.
An article argues United Rentals is not just a housing-cycle bet because its specialty rentals business is growing and now makes up a larger share of total rental revenue. It also points to Q2 2026 results showing strong revenue growth in both the general and specialty rental segments.
