United Rentals rating change at Goldman Sachs United Rentals upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs analyst Jerry Revich upgraded United Rentals to Buy from Neutral and raised his 12-month price target for the shares to $165 from $128. U.S. construction equipment supply has peaked, rental rates are likely to bottom in coming quarters, consensus estimates have only "modest" risk, and multiple expansion is likely for the Construction Rental group if manufacturing production cuts play out in the coming quarters as expected, Revich tells investors in a research note. The analyst views United Rentals' cyclical risk/reward as improved and is positive on the company's focus of reducing financial leverage as well as its "continued progress" on reducing per unit operating costs.
