Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 23, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. United Rentals posted record Q2 2026 results and raised full-year 2026 guidance, lifting total revenue outlook by $500 million (to $17.5–$17.8 billion), adjusted EBITDA by $300 million (to $7.975–$8.125 billion), and gross rental capex by $450 million (to $4.85–$5.25 billion).
Bullish
- + Specialty rental revenue grew 25% year-over-year with growth across all seven specialty lines
- + Gross rental capex raised by $450 million to $4.85–$5.25 billion to support stronger demand at record time utilization
- + S&P raised United Rentals' credit outlook to positive with potential upgrade to investment grade within 12 months
Bearish
- − Adjusted EBITDA margin (ex-gain) declined 40 basis points year-over-year due to specialty mix shift to lower-margin ancillary and re-rent
- − Specialty segment rental gross margin contracted 140 basis points year-over-year
- − Fuel costs absorbed 20–30 basis points of incremental margin headwind in Q2
