UBS maintains a 'Buy' on United Rentals (NYSE: URI) price target raised from $40 to $50.
UBS analyst said, "We believe 4Q results show not only the recovery of NA end markets and ongoing shift to rental, but also how URI’s internal transformation efforts are bearing fruit. Over the last 3+ years, URI has transformed into a leaner, more profitable company through cost takeouts & strategic investments. Near-term, we see upside from upward estimate revisions. Longer-term, we see multiple expansion as URI continues its transformation as the leading player in an increasingly consolidated (and attractive) industry."
"Reflecting 4Q beat, improving demand & stronger cost management than previously modeled, we are raising 2012E & 2013E EPS to $3.20 & $3.70, from $3.00 & $3.30."
