wow URI hit $48 today

[crudeoil24]

20:32 ET - Alongside United Rentals' (URI) 4Q results came an announcement that it plans to acquire competitor NES from Diamond Castle Holdings for $965M. Chicago-based NES has 73 branches and 1,100 employees, concentrated mostly in the eastern half of the US; United Rental has 887 locations in 49 state and some 12,500 workers. The deal is seen boosting URI's 2017 earnings as it's "acquiring a well-run operation that's primed to benefit from our technology, infrastructure and cross-selling capabilities," says URI CEO Michael Kneeland. Its stock jumped 8.7% after-hours to $124.20, which would put shares above 2014's record high. URI had been already up 8.2% this month. ([e-mail])

Potential tens of billions may be spent on bridge work, road work, pipelines, the southern wall . URI will benefit. URI rents heavy equipment. Many large construction companies now prefer to rent equipment, instead of buying heavy equipment.

Looking for 130+ today.

Jeez oh man

[Jld3294]

This has happened to me before and I always cost average everyone it drops 10-15%, depending on the stock. It has worked very well. I would strongly consider getting back in if it goes to the mid-low 60s as it will be trading with a EV/EBITDA of 2.5 which is unbelievably cheap.

[Trueheart]

I would be pleased for you to see the price shoot up. Today the share price hit a 52-week low.

Best of luck.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

It shouldn't be. I guess long term the accelerated buyback will help be more accretive for the company because they can pick up more cheap shares. Still the earnings weren't bad. I wouldn't be surprised to see $85 before next earnings.

[Trueheart]

I got out at $83.12 with a 10% loss.

The stock is tied to the O&G industry and the price of oil.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

What a hated stock.

[Jld3294]

I look deep into the numbers, and so many companies have a higher stock price with not nearly the profit or margins. To get a company growing bottom line a 15% CAGR and trades about 10X is a steal.

[Trueheart]

Good luck on your buy. URI is a strong company.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

Just doubled down to lower my cost to $83

[Trueheart]

The welfare of the company is apparently tied to the O&G industry, and that is why the share price has cratered.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

This was a crazy intraday move for URI

[Trueheart]

I was incorrect. New low at $80.08.

The share price is back to the 52-week low.

Like you, I believe that the price is ripe for the picking but I'm holding on to my cash for a while more, let the problem with Greece get resolved.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

Planning on doubling down soon. A no brainer stock with a 2 year+ timeframe

[Jld3294]

If your short term then $105 is a decent selling point. Nice buy Trueheart, I bought it around $89 several months back and got slapped with the recent sell off.

Remember they have a 750M buyback this year. That will retire about 9% of the stock at these prices, and only about 7% of the stock if the stock was still trading at $104.

So the sell off was probably an advantage to the company/stock in the long haul.

If you wait a year it should be about $120

[Trueheart]

Bought in at $89 this morning. My sell is set at $104.98.

If the market does hit that 10% drop I figure that URI already suffered the damage, and, as you said, it's a great growth stock.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

Just go on your broker-dealer account and research next years projected earnings... It's $9.38 eps is the consensus. The stock should be at LEAST $93

[Trueheart]

The hit has been huge the past few days.

I think it'll stay down for a while.

Thinking of buying.

Trueheart

[Jld3294]

This is one of the cheapest growth stocks on Wall Street. It's trading at 10X 2017 eps and historically it's been growing at 20% per year. They still have a lot of expanding to go.
