Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $106.03 and expensive above $196.92 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $143.07 (cash-flow model) and $132.61 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly below both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $125.73, at 7.8% it would be $156.03.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (20.4).

Company outlook mixed
Share price after the results: 0.0%McGrath RentCorp lowered its 2026 revenue outlook to $945 million to $960 million due to weaker new modular equipment sales, but kept the adjusted EBITDA midpoint at $365 million to $373 million and raised planned rental fleet capital spending to $270 million to $290 million.
“We now expect total revenue between $945 million and $960 million, adjusted EBITDA between $365 million and $373 million, and gross rental equipment capital expenditures between $270 million and $290 million.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
