Herc Holdings reports Q1 adjusted EPS 21c, consensus (21c)

Reports Q1 revenue $1.14B, consensus $1.06B. “The first quarter of 2026 marked a defining milestone for Herc Rentals as we successfully completed the integration of our H&E acquisition – the largest in the history of our industry – and we are already capturing the strategic benefits we anticipated: 25% more specialty locations, a stronger and deeper sales network, expanded share in local and regional accounts, and greater density in top metropolitan markets, where construction activity is most resilient. Financial performance in the first quarter was in line with our expectations and seasonal trends. While we expect performance to build as we move through the second half of 2026, the value of this combination will be realized over our three-year synergy plan, and we are executing against that roadmap with confidence,” said Larry Silber, CEO.
