United Rentals: Solid Fundamentals Outweigh Short-Term Margin Pressures
United Rentals delivers top-tier growth and profitability, driven by specialty segment expansion and strong demand from large infrastructure projects. Valuation is at a premium to rental peers, but justified by consistent market outperformance, high margins, and superior return on equity. Recent margin compression is manageable, with free cash flow guidance raised and a solid mid-single-digit revenue growth outlook maintained.

United Rentals: Strong End Market Outlook, Margins Turning Corner Could Drive Further Upside
URI's revenues should benefit from strong end-market demand from infrastructure, reshoring, power, and data centers. The growth and cross-sell opportunities in the Specialty business, scale advantages in executing complex/multi-location projects, and shift from owning to renting should drive market share gains. I believe double-digit EPS growth and P/E multiple sustaining at current levels due to enhanced growth outlook with cyclical and secular drivers, should support continued upside.

United Rentals: Overvalued Even With A Tax Law Windfall (Rating Downgrade)
United Rentals has surged over 60% since April, driven by strong results and a significant tax law windfall boosting free cash flow. Despite robust fundamentals, margins are compressing due to normalization in used equipment prices and slowing construction activity. The recent rally is almost entirely attributable to the new tax law, which adds $80-100 per share in value, but shares now trade at a high premium.
