Overview
Sunbelt Rentals Holdings, Inc. is a leading global equipment-rental provider that redomiciled to the United States on February 27, 2026 and began NYSE trading under SUNB on March 2, while retaining a London listing. The move reflects its operating reality: North America generates approximately 91.0% of revenue and more than 90% of operating profits. **The model is unusually recurring, with 94.0% of Q1 FY2027 revenue from equipment rentals**, supported by 1,611 locations, a fleet exceeding $19 billion, and a proprietary digital ecosystem. Q1 FY2027 revenue rose 11.2% year over year to a record $3,115 million, rental revenue increased 12.5% to $2,927 million, and adjusted EPS grew 20.4% to $1.18. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1,315 million, although margin declined 100 basis points to 42.2% because lower-margin ancillary revenue grew rapidly. Specialty rental revenue surged 25.3%, with dollar utilization improving to 77.0%. Management raised FY2027 revenue-growth guidance to 6.0% to 9.0% and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $4.92 billion to $5.12 billion. At $75.59, the stock trades at 21.46x trailing P/E and 3.49x EV/Sales, broadly consistent with United Rentals. The principal catalysts are specialty expansion, mega-project demand, capital returns, and potential U.S.-market valuation support.
