On October 2, 2026, MarketBeat cited an USD 85.00 consensus price target for U-Haul stock, alongside a Moderate Buy rating. U-Haul was trading at EUR 55.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 1:06 p.m. CEST, down 0.45 percent versus the prior close of EUR 55.25.

Revenue grew as margins narrowed

U-Haul's first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue rose 3.20 percent, or USD 51.60 million, to USD 1.68 billion. Yahoo Finance reported that self-storage revenue increased 6.80 percent and self-moving equipment rental revenue rose 2.80 percent in the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The growth came with pressure on profitability. Operating margin declined from 15.80 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to 14.90 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, while net income fell 13.60 percent to USD 122.90 million and voting-share earnings per share declined to USD 0.58 from USD 0.68.

Capital allocation meets operating pressure

U-Haul deployed USD 48.00 million on share repurchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The company also projected a reduction of more than USD 500.00 million in net fleet investment during the remaining three quarters of fiscal 2027, reflecting sufficient truck capacity.

The analyst case therefore rests on a gap between operating growth and near-term earnings pressure. MarketBeat's USD 85.00 consensus target is USD 23.11 above the USD 61.89 NYSE close on October 2, 2026, a 37.34 percent difference using the same currency. The comparison is material because U-Haul's latest quarter produced higher revenue but lower net income.

Next report date comes into view

TradingView lists November 11, 2026 as U-Haul's next report date and identifies the company as U-Haul Holding Company, ticker UHAL, on the New York Stock Exchange. The next quarterly update will show whether revenue growth can offset the cost and margin pressure visible in the first quarter.

U-Haul stock stays below prior close
