Analysis

Hope premium

McGrath RentCorp carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price.

The price is expensive. You pay 83.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 25% yearly growth; analysts expect 14%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 12/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
