Description: URI United Rentals September 26, 2025
United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) is the world’s largest equipment-rental firm, organized into two operating segments: General Rentals and Specialty. The General Rentals segment supplies a broad portfolio of construction and industrial assets-including backhoes, skid-steer loaders, forklifts, aerial work platforms, and light tools-to a diverse client base that ranges from contractors and manufacturers to municipalities and homeowners.
The Specialty segment focuses on higher-margin, niche equipment such as trench-safety systems, portable power and HVAC units, fluid-handling solutions, surface-protection mats, and modular office space. In addition to rentals, this segment generates revenue from sales of aerial lifts, reach forklifts, compressors, consumables, safety supplies, and aftermarket parts, as well as from repair and maintenance contracts.
United Rentals also monetizes its used-equipment inventory through a multi-channel sales strategy that includes a dedicated sales force, online listings, broker networks, public auctions, and direct sales to manufacturers. The company’s footprint spans the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, giving it exposure to both mature and emerging construction markets.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023): revenue of $12.9 billion, a 5.2 % YoY increase; operating cash flow of $2.6 billion; and a fleet utilization rate of roughly 84 %, well above the industry average of ~78 %. The firm’s adjusted EBITDA margin sits near 15 %, reflecting the premium pricing power of its Specialty segment.
Primary economic drivers for URI include U.S. private-nonresidential construction spending (which grew ~3 % YoY in Q2 2024), infrastructure stimulus spending (the bipartisan infrastructure law is projected to add $1.2 trillion in demand for heavy-equipment rentals over the next decade), and the health of the industrial manufacturing sector, which influences demand for material-handling and power-generation equipment.
