WillScot Holdings stock (ISIN US9713781048) was last at USD 17.36 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, up USD 0.29, or 1.70 percent, from the prior close of USD 17.07. The move followed a second-quarter performance that exceeded expectations and a higher 2026 outlook.

Q2 revenue reached USD 612.15 million

For Q2 2026, revenue rose 3.9 percent year over year to USD 612.15 million, while adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.28 against a USD 0.25 consensus estimate, according to Fidelity in its October 6, 2026 coverage of the Q2 report.

The quarter also produced USD 228 million of adjusted EBITDA and a 37.2 percent margin. The margin was lower than the prior-year comparison as the company invested in activation volumes and large projects, making revenue conversion the central operating issue for the second half.

Management lifted the 2026 targets

On the August 6, 2026 earnings call, management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to USD 2.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance to USD 920 million, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript. The revenue outlook increased by USD 50 million from the previous target.

The company also indicated that Q3 revenue could reach USD 585 million and adjusted EBITDA USD 232 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.7 percent. That forecast implies a 2.8 percentage point margin improvement from Q2, provided leasing revenue continues to build and activation costs moderate.
