Detailed SWOT Analysis of United Rentals

Strength

1. Strategic acquisitions helped expand United Rentals market base: United Rentals acquired NES, Neff, BakerCorp and BlueLines in the period between 2018 to 2020. BakerCorp was a leading multinational provider of tank, pump and filtration rental solutions for a wide range of industrial and construction applications. Its revenue was $295 million annually. It operated mainly in the US and Canada having 46 locations. It also had 11 locations in France, Germany, UK and Netherlands. This acquisition augmented fluid solutions provided by United Rentals. It also provided a great opportunity to increase revenue and enhance customer service by cross-selling to its broader base of customers. It also provided an opportunity to United Rentals to expand its services in the European market. Another recent acquisition is that of BlueLine. It is one of the ten largest equipment rental companies in North America region, which is the primary market for United Rentals. It offered its services to customers in the construction and industrial sector. It had annual revenues of $786 million. BlueLine had 114 rental locations across 25 US states, Canada and Puerto Rico. This acquisition expanded the company’s rental capacity in many of the metropolitan areas of US and Canada. It provided the company a well-diversified customer base. Therefore, acquisitions helped United Rentals greatly to expand its services and customer base across locations.

Threats

1. Business is cyclical in nature i.e., economic slowdown affects the business significantly: United Rentals offers mainly five kind of solutions: Power & HVAC, Reliable Onsite Services, Tool Solutions, Fluid Solutions and Trench Safety Solutions. These equipment and general rental equipment are used in construction and industrial activities. These sectors are cyclical in nature. Any negative impact on these sectors directly affects United Rentals’ business. For example, global financial crisis of 2007- 2008 had a huge impact on the global economies particularly US economy. It translated to an economic downturn for 2-3 years till 2010 and effectively the construction and industrial activities decreased by a huge margin impacting United Rentals’ business. Such decreases adversely affect its revenues and profits because some costs such as equipment maintenance are fixed for the company, thereby reducing operating margin for the United Rentals. Therefore, any such decrease poses a great threat to the United Rentals. Apart from this factor, adverse weather conditions, political instability, increase in interest rates and lack of availability of credit affects United Rentals negatively.
