HRI

Herc Holdings is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings of $3.08 per share (up 38.7% YoY) with revenues of $1.34 billion (up 2.6% YoY) on October 27. However, the company presents a mixed earnings-beat candidate with a negative Earnings ESP of -4.44% despite carrying a Zacks Rank #1 rating. While the company has beaten consensus estimates in all four of the last quarters, recent analyst estimate revisions have turned bearish, making it difficult to predict an earnings beat.

Zacks identifies Herc Holdings (HRI) as a compelling value investment opportunity, citing its Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) rating and 'A' grade for Value. The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 12.24, below its industry average of 14.82, with attractive valuations across multiple metrics including PEG ratio of 0.93 and P/S ratio of 0.92, suggesting the stock is undervalued relative to its earnings growth prospects.
