McGrath RentCorp posts Q3 earnings beat but trims full‑year revenue outlook

McGrath RentCorp reported third‑quarter 2026 earnings of $2.00 per share, topping consensus by $0.11, and revenue of $274.61 million, slightly above estimates. The company revised its full‑year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $945 million‑$960 million, below analysts’ expectation of $963.20 million. Management highlighted continued rental‑operations momentum despite weaker new‑equipment sales.

The earnings beat may support the stock in the short term, but the lower full‑year revenue outlook could curb upside, as analysts had projected higher revenue (the company expects $945‑$960 million versus the $963.20 million consensus). Investors will watch whether the revised guidance alters valuation expectations.
