Despite this, new investments have been made by multiple entities including Vaughan Nelson, Chicago Capital, and Forbes J M & Co. LLP. URI also outperformed the industrial sector and maintains an overweight rating due to positive secular trends. The company is expected to continue prospering as per the last earnings report. Their full-year outlook raised on strong rental growth and fleet productivity and a 42% CAGR over the last five years attests to the company's financial health. Nevertheless, the stock is subject to an antitrust lawsuit alleging price fixing in construction rentals.
