Last earnings call, Jul 29, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- McGrath Rent Corp Q2 2026 reported rental operations revenues up 6% YoY, but total revenues decreased 6% to $221M and adjusted EBITDA declined 4% to $83M due to lower equipment sales at Enviroplex and Mobile Modular. TRS RenTelco rental revenues surged 17%, driven by data centers, aerospace/defense, and semiconductors. Mobile Modular bookings rose 11% with sequential utilization improvement for the first time since 2022. Portable Storage faced headwinds from weak local commercial construction markets.
- Guidance
- Management expressed positive outlook for H2 2026, citing Mobile Modular geographic expansion and services initiatives as growth drivers independent of nonresidential construction recovery. Modular rental revenue guidance targets 0.5-1.5% year-over-year growth. Strong balance sheet supports dividends, M&A, and share repurchases.
