Company Overview

EquipmentShare.com Inc. operates an integrated platform for construction equipment rental and field and technology services. It generates revenue primarily from its rental segment, equipment sales including sales to the OWN program, and the T3 software platform, which supports fleet, service, and logistics management; in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, rental revenue was $908 million, while equipment sales revenue was $483 million, including $428 million in sales to the OWN program.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, total revenue increased 26% year over year to $1.4 billion, and gross profit was $411 million, representing a gross margin of approximately 29.4%, while the company recorded net income of $19 million. Rental segment revenue increased by more than 39% to $908 million, and the segment generated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $449 million despite incurring approximately $60 million in startup costs in new markets.

Adjusted core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reached $531 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, up 34% year over year, while mature rental locations achieved a margin of 55% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. However, the financial statements for the twelve months ended in fiscal 2026 show revenue of $4.3 billion and a net loss of $42 million, compared with net income of $40 million on revenue of $4.4 billion in fiscal 2025.

What's Driving the Stock

  • Strong demand increased rental segment revenue by more than 39% year over year in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, after the company placed more than $750 million of new equipment into service for the first time, including fleet that had been scheduled for deployment in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

The midpoint of fiscal 2026 guidance indicates rental segment revenue growth of approximately 33% for the full year and approximately 28% in the second half, compared with comparable growth of nearly 36% in the second half of fiscal 2025; management sees an opportunity to exceed guidance, supported by volume, pricing, and demand visibility.
  • EquipmentShare opened 39 full-service rental locations from the beginning of fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, and more than 75% of first-year revenue at new locations comes from customers already doing business with the company in other markets, reducing the risk of entering new locations without an established demand base.
  • National and regional customers represented approximately 91% of rental revenue during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and the company benefits from large, multiyear projects in data centers, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, energy, and transportation; on one healthcare project, EquipmentShare was selected as the sole supplier of essential equipment and services.
  • The T3 platform supports customer retention and spending expansion, as management said customers engaged with it spend approximately six times as much with EquipmentShare as customers who are not engaged, and the company is also working with customers whose individual commitments exceed $1 million in annual recurring revenue for T3 software services.
  • On July 9, 2026, the board of directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program through December 31, 2028, but management emphasized that investment in organic growth remains a priority and that repurchases will be subject to liquidity and leverage targets.
  • Buying & Selling Case

    ▲ Buying Case4 pts

    • +EquipmentShare's model combines rapid growth with strong operating profitability at mature locations; rental revenue grew by more than 39% and the margin at mature rental locations reached 55% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, while adjusted core earnings increased 34% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
    • +Recurring demand from existing customers provides a practical foundation for expansion because more than 75% of first-year revenue at new locations comes from customers already doing business with EquipmentShare, and because mature locations represent only 56% of the rental network, leaving room for earnings at newer locations to improve as they mature.
    • +T3 extends the economics of the customer relationship from equipment rental to fleet, service, and logistics management, and use of the platform is associated with approximately six times higher spending; customer contracts exceeding $1 million in annual recurring software revenue have also emerged.
    • +The OWN program provides a scalable source of fleet financing at an equivalent cost of capital of approximately 7% for transactions in the first half of fiscal 2026, with no minimum lease payments, utilization guarantees, or equipment repurchase obligation, while available liquidity reached $2.8 billion at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and net leverage declined to 3.0 times from 3.4 times a year earlier.

    ▼ Selling Case6 pts

    • −Approximately 91% of rental revenue during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 depends on national and regional customers that are often tied to large, complex projects, making performance sensitive to the timing of major projects and the pace of industrial and nonresidential construction spending even with diversified end markets.
    • −Fiscal 2026 guidance includes a slowdown in rental segment revenue growth from more than 39% in the second quarter to approximately 28% in the second half, and management acknowledged that part of the fleet scheduled for deployment in the third quarter was absorbed early in the second quarter, raising the comparison difficulty and making continuation of the recent growth rate less certain.
    • −Profit margins face pressure from fuel and the service mix; higher fuel costs reduced the rental segment margin by approximately 50 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, and management also explained that some additional services on major projects generate profit dollars and strong returns on capital but at different percentage margins.
    • −Management described equipment supply conditions as closer to 2021 and 2022, with higher demand and tight manufacturer availability, which could limit the pace of fleet additions or increase their cost despite the company's stated confidence in its fiscal 2026 capital expenditure plan.
    • −On August 19, 2026, Berger Montague announced the filing of a class action alleging securities fraud related to the initial public offering and the disclosure of related-party transactions; the company continues to pay slightly less than $5 million in rent since the beginning of fiscal 2026 for properties associated with the founders, despite related parties' ownership in the $5.5 billion OWN fleet declining to less than $1 million by the end of the second quarter.
    • −No meaningful price-to-earnings ratio is available because of the $42 million net loss during the twelve months ended in fiscal 2026, so the valuation depends heavily on achieving rental growth, location maturation, and a transition to accounting profitability; the wide 52-week range of $15.707 to $35.50 also demonstrates the stock's high sensitivity to news and execution risks.

    Valuation

    The analysts' average price target is $27, within a wide range of $22 to $35, with a consensus Buy rating; the average target is approximately 24% below the 52-week high of $35.50, while the highest target is close to that high. The price-to-earnings ratio does not provide a useful anchor given the $42 million net loss during the twelve months ended in fiscal 2026, and the lawsuit announced on August 19, 2026 and the controversy related to related-party transactions help explain the wide valuation range despite strong rental growth.

    FAQ

    What was the primary driver of EquipmentShare's growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2026?

    Rental segment revenue increased by more than 39% year over year to $908 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The company placed more than $750 million of new equipment into service for the first time during the quarter, including fleet that had been expected to be deployed in the third quarter. It also opened 39 full-service locations from the beginning of fiscal 2026 through June 30, 2026, and more than 75% of first-year revenue at new locations comes from existing customers within its network.

    How important is the T3 platform to EquipmentShare's business model?

    EquipmentShare uses the T3 platform internally for dispatch, transportation, fuel, and logistics, and provides it with every rental to improve equipment visibility and reduce downtime. According to management on the August 13, 2026 call, customers engaged with T3 spend approximately six times as much with the company as customers who are not engaged with it. The company is also working with customers whose individual commitments exceed $1 million in annual recurring revenue for T3 services, expanding the platform from a rental-related tool into a standalone software business.

    How does the OWN program work, and what is its impact on fleet financing?

    The OWN program allows equipment to be sold to financing partners and then managed within EquipmentShare's fleet in exchange for variable payments tied to revenue. During the first half of fiscal 2026, the company received approximately $728 million in total sale proceeds and estimated the equivalent cost of capital for the transactions at approximately 7%. The program imposes no minimum lease payments or guarantees of utilization or residual value, and it does not require EquipmentShare to repurchase the equipment after the contract terms, which are typically six to seven years. Equipment sales to OWN amounted to $428 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

    Was EquipmentShare profitable in the second quarter of fiscal 2026?

    The company recorded net income of $19 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, after a net loss of $29 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Gross profit was $411 million on revenue of $1.4 billion, representing a gross margin of approximately 29.4%. However, the result for the twelve months ended in fiscal 2026 remained a net loss of $42 million, so no useful price-to-earnings ratio is available for valuation.

    What are the risks associated with the lawsuit and related-party transactions?

    On August 19, 2026, Berger Montague announced a class action alleging inadequate disclosure of ongoing transactions with entities owned or controlled by the founders, allegations for which the provided information does not include a final judicial outcome. EquipmentShare said that only less than $1 million of the $5.5 billion OWN fleet remained owned by related parties at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Rental payments for properties associated with the founders totaled slightly less than $5 million since the beginning of fiscal 2026, and the company aims to substantially reduce these arrangements by December 31, 2026. The chief financial officer also explained on August 13, 2026 that all related-party transactions are subject to review of terms, economics, accounting treatment, and audit committee approval.
