Valuing United Rentals stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of United Rentals's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
United Rentals's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, United Rentals shares trade at around 25x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
United Rentals's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.329. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into United Rentals's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
United Rentals's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a United Rentals's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 16.05% of net profits
Recently United Rentals has paid out, on average, around 16.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.75% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), United Rentals shareholders could enjoy a 0.75% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In United Rentals's case, that would currently equate to about $7.7 per share.
While United Rentals's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that United Rentals is investing more in its future growth.
United Rentals's most recent dividend payout was on 24 November 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 November 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, United Rentals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $698.9378 up to $1202.12. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while United Rentals's is 1.808. This would suggest that United Rentals's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
