EquipmentShare OWN program payouts soar 70% in 2025. Equipment rental, service revenue jumped 34% YoY. Reading Time: 4 mins read EquipmentShare's OWN financing model and proprietary T3 technology platform helped drive the newly public company's revenue growth in 2025. The OWN program remains a "core pillar" of the equipment rental company's strategy, allowing it to "meet customer demand in a disciplined, capital-efficiency way," Mark Wopata, executive vice president of finance, said during today's fourth-quarter earnings call. It was EquipmentShare's first earnings call since going public on Jan. 23. Through the OWN program, EquipmentShare sells equipment to third-party investors who then lease it back to the company, allowing EquipmentShare to maintain operational control while sharing revenue with investors. "Participants in the program include high-net worth individuals, family offices and institutional investors funded through both traditional lending and the [asset-back securities] market," Wopata said. "We believe these are durable, scalable sources of capital that support the growth of the program over time." The OWN program is powered by T3, a cloud-based operating system that gives customers, investors and EquipmentShare personnel real-time visibility into asset location, utilization and service history, "improving transparency and reducing risk for OWN participants," Wopata said. The program remained significantly oversubscribed in Q4, with an appraised value of $4.1 billion at yearend, he said. BY THE NUMBERS: Columbia, Mo.-based EquipmentShare reported these full-year results in its March 18 earnings release: * OWN program payouts surged 70% year over year to $714 million; * Total revenue rose 16.3% YoY to $4.4 billion; * Equipment rental and service revenue jumped 33.9% YoY to $2.7 billion; * Equipment sales fell 8.1% YoY to $1.5 billion; and * Net income totaled $40 million, up from $3 million in 2024. EquipmentShare's OWN program fleet accounted for roughly 56% of its $8.8 billion in original equipment costs in 2025. The company added 95 locations last year as it worked to capitalize on strong construction activity, bringing its total to 385 locations. Analyst weighs in. EquipmentShare's performance reflects strong rental demand, with many operators opting to rent to preserve cash amid high borrowing costs, Lukas Muehlbauer, a research analyst at IPOX, a research firm and investment solutions provider focused on new listings, told Equipment Finance News. At the same time, EquipmentShare is vulnerable to potential interest rate hikes due to its reliance on external capital, he said. But overall, the company's rapid fleet expansion should attract investors as EquipmentShare proves its ability to compete with industry giants such as United Rentals, he said. Meanwhile, EquipmentShare's stock performance started strong, with shares rising 32.9% on its first day to $32.56 at close. However, shares have dropped considerably since peaking at $34.63 five days later, driven by broader economic uncertainty and overhang, Muehlbauer said. "I think looking forward into the summer, there will obviously be some overhang from the lock-up period of the IPO," he said. "So, there will be some insider selling... There's also the overhang of potential secondary offerings. The company is looking to raise more capital by selling more stocks, so I think that could introduce some downward pressure as well." Muehlbauer said EquipmentShare's next earnings will be crucial to its stock performance following the lock-up period - a 90- to 180-day stretch that prohibits company insiders, founders and early investors from selling shares. Shares of EquipmentShare [NASDAQ: EQPT] were down 7.3% from market open to $22.74 as of market close today. It has a market capitalization of $5.7 billion.

United Rentals expands use of customer AI tools as companies continue to embrace growing technology. Stamford-based equipment rental company United Rentals said it has launched a new artificial intelligence-powered digital assistant designed to help customers identify equipment for construction and industrial projects. The tool, called Equipment Agent, allows users to describe project needs in plain language and receive recommendations for equipment rentals. The system can also compare equipment types and provide specifications such as capacity, reach, terrain limits and required accessories. The company said the assistant connects users to product pages on its website where equipment can be reserved. In late December, United Rentals also announced its launch of a Manual Assist AI web application to deliver diagnostics and immediate access to equipment manufacturer manuals to its service teams. The moves come as more companies integrate AI tools directly into their products and services. Earlier this month, Norwalk-based financial data and analytics firm FactSet created a chief AI officer position to oversee the expansion of artificial intelligence across its software platform and client offerings. United Rentals said the Equipment Agent draws on customer inquiries and internal equipment expertise. The company operates more than 1,600 rental locations in North America and serves construction, industrial and municipal customers.
United Rentals, the world's largest equipment rental company, has partnered with Procore Technologies to integrate telematics data into Procore's Resource Management solution. The integration allows shared customers to automatically sync rental equipment data directly into their existing workflows, providing real-time visibility across jobsites. The partnership aims to bridge the construction industry's "resource gap" between office planning and field execution. By connecting their United Rentals account within Procore, customers can manage owned and rented equipment side-by-side, with AI-driven recommendations to optimise resource deployment. The integration is part of United Rentals' broader innovation strategy to provide actionable, AI-driven insights that enhance productivity, safety and asset efficiency. The telematics integration is now available to mutual customers through Procore Resource Management.
United Rentals to sponsor select NASCAR Cup Series races with Richard Childress Racing's Austin Hill in 2026. By RCR Staff Feb 25, 2026 WELCOME, N.C. (February 25, 2026) - United Rentals, the world's largest equipment rental company, will partner with Richard Childress Racing to sponsor Austin Hill for select races in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2026.

The race will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 1 beginning at 3:30 p.m. ET. "United Rentals continues to be a special part of my career and carrying their colors once again in the Cup Series means a lot," said Hill. "I've represented their company for almost a decade now and it never gets old winning races and having success together. The No. 33 team was able to get our first top-10 last season in Chicago, and I genuinely felt like we had a shot to win the fall race at Talladega. Racing on Sundays full time is the end goal, so expanding the track lineup will be a good challenge to gain experience. Grateful to Richard, every man and woman at RCR, ECR, and CT Spring, and of course United Rentals for the opportunity." United Rentals has an integrated network of over 1,500 rental locations in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, United Rentals offers general, aerial, and specialty rentals to a customer base that includes construction and industrial companies, utilities, municipalities, and homeowners.

"We have a great partnership with Austin and RCR and look forward to supporting them and giving our customers an unforgettable experience." The 2026 campaign marks United Rentals' fifth year of partnership with RCR, and ninth year with Hill. United Rentals and Hill have found success together both on and off the track, most recently with the Winston, Georgia native winning the United Rentals 300 NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Daytona International Speedway to kick off the 2026 season. "Everyone at RCR is proud of our long-standing partnership with United Rentals and looking forward to building on the strong branding, at-track activation and hosting programs we have developed together over the last five years," said Mike Verlander, president of RCR. "United Rentals has been instrumental in Austin Hill's continued rise and success, and together we're looking forward to watching him in the NASCAR Cup Series for select races in 2026." Hill, the 2023 NASCAR O'Reily Auto Parts Series Regular Season Champion, is currently in his fifth full-time season piloting the No. 21 Chevrolet in the NOAPS. He made his Cup Series debut for the Welcome, N.C.-based organization at Michigan International Speedway in 2022 and now has a total of 15 Cup Series starts to his credit, earning a best finish of ninth at the Chicago Street Race in 2025.
