On the filings behind it, United Rentals Inc. earns 6.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 18, 2026. That is solid quality on our scale. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Set against 270 Industrials companies, United Rentals Inc. lands at the 60th percentile, in the better half of its peers. A typical company in the group scores 5.6, and the best quarter starts from 6.5. United Rentals Inc. is in line with that typical reading.
United Rentals Inc.’s profitability score is 8.0 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 4.9 among 262 Industrials companies, that is well above the group and the 90th percentile. A reading this strong says the business earns well on what it sells and on the capital it uses, the kind of margin profile competitors find hard to copy.
On solvency, United Rentals Inc. scores 6.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 7.1 across 241 Industrials companies, which places it below them, at the 34th percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.
Growth scores 7.3 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 216 Industrials companies is 5.4, so United Rentals Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 80th percentile. A high growth score rewards a business that is getting bigger in a way that reaches the bottom line, not just the top one.
Efficiency scores 4.1 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 264 Industrials companies is 6.2, so United Rentals Inc. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 21st percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.
United Rentals Inc.’s predictability score is 3.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 5.0 among 267 Industrials companies, that is below the group and the 27th percentile. Weak predictability means revenue or earnings have swung widely from year to year, so any single year’s figures are a less reliable guide.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 8.0 but predictability only 3.7, a gap of 4.3 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is efficiency. If it rose to the median of Industrials companies, 6.2, United Rentals Inc.’s overall score would go from 6.0 to about 6.3. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
