Current thesis
Rental operations are growing, Mobile Modular utilization has begun to improve, TRS-RenTelco is benefiting from data-center demand, and management raised guidance midpoints while increasing planned capex. If delayed second-half projects convert and fleet investment earns attractive returns, earnings momentum can improve.
