Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Increased equipment rental penetration in North America could result in more general equipment rentals, driving higher revenue growth for United Rentals.

Bears

Rental customers may elect to buy equipment outright instead of renting, which could lead to a decrease in the rental penetration rate, ultimately meaning lower sales for United Rentals.

Company Profile

United Rentals is the world’s largest equipment rental company. It principally operates in the United States and Canada, where it commands approximately 15% share in a highly fragmented market. It serves three end markets: general industrial, commercial construction, and residential construction. Like its peers, United Rentals historically has provided its customers with equipment that was intermittently used, such as aerial equipment and portable generators. As the company has grown organically and through hundreds of acquisitions since it went public in 1997, its catalog (fleet size of $21 billion) now includes a range of specialty equipment and other items that can be rented for indefinitely long periods.
