  "account": "Bernstein SocGen has reduced its price target for United Rentals stock (NYSE:URI) from $1,317 to $1,215 while keeping its Outperform rating. United Rentals, a $66 billion company, currently trades at a P/E ratio of 25.6. The equipment rental firm is projected to have third-quarter EBITDA of $2.2 billion, surpassing consensus by 2%. The analyst anticipates a 2026 guidance increase to $8.1 billion, which represents a 1% rise above expectations. The construction mix, with more mega projects and fewer local projects, is expected to favor United Rentals as it benefits from scale and specialty offerings. The fourth-quarter exit rate of their fleet suggests a potential upside to 2027 equipment rental revenue estimates. Despite being 10% de-rated compared to rental peers, United Rentals offers a more attractive setup according to the analyst.
