Oppenheimer lifted its price target on Outperform-rated United Rentals (NYSE: URI) from $55 to $60, saying they anticipate 2013 will be another strong year.

"URI has outperformed primary benchmarks the past three years, and we anticipate the trend to continue via multiple drivers, including: 1) its leading position in an
industry benefiting from a secular tailwind (customers renting vs. buying); 2) a potential boost from a pending non-residential construction rebound; and 3) the opportunity to derive incremental RSC Holdings integration revenue/cost savings synergies as it continues to enhance overall efficiency via improved operational processes/systems. Additionally, as URI swings to a significant FCF generator in 2013 ($400-500M guidance), debt/EBITDA should drop below 3x by 12/31/13. This enhances financial flexibility, reduces volatility, and should draw incremental
investors."
