As Zacks reported on September 15, 2026, United Rentals stock dropped about 15% over the prior month as higher fuel and delivery costs, fleet repositioning expenses and a greater mix of lower-margin ancillary and re-rent revenues created margin headwinds even while demand and fleet utilization stayed robust.
