Keybanc has upgraded Herc Holdings Inc (HRI) to Overweight from Sector Weight, reflecting a more optimistic outlook on the company's prospects. The decision, made on December 16, 2025, comes as Herc Holdings operates within the Trading Companies & Distributors industry, providing equipment rental services and ancillary solutions.
Currently, Herc Holdings has a market capitalisation of $4.6 billion, with a trailing twelve months (TTM) earnings per share (EPS) of -2.52 and a notable dividend yield of 209.8%. The company's stock price stands at $158.74.
The upgrade indicates improved analyst sentiment, possibly due to enhanced fundamentals or better-than-expected business performance. As Herc Holdings prepares for upcoming earnings reports, estimates suggest an EPS of $0.78 and revenue of $1.2 billion for April 20, 2026, followed by an EPS of $1.64 and the same revenue estimate for July 27, 2026.
Analyst ratings, while informative, should be considered alongside a variety of factors, including company fundamentals and broader industry trends. The consensus rating for Herc Holdings remains a Buy, with 3 Strong Buy, 6 Buy, 3 Hold, and 1 Sell among the 13 analysts covering the stock.
As analyst perspectives evolve, they can provide valuable insights, but they should not be the sole basis for investment decisions.
