[TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/stockstory:f2d57f974094b:0-herc-hri-reports-earnings-tomorrow-what-to-expect/) reported the earnings date and consensus figures. The equipment rental company beat revenue expectations last quarter with $1.20 billion, up 20.2% year on year, but its full-year revenue guidance missed analysts' expectations significantly.\n\n## Herc's Q3 2026 Earnings Preview\n\nHerc Holdings operates as a North American full-line equipment rental supplier with more than 600 branches across the United States and Canada, serving construction, government, industrial, data center, healthcare, and entertainment customers. The company manages its fleet through its ProControl telematics platform.\n\nLast quarter, Herc reported revenues of $1.20 billion, a 20.2% increase year on year, and beat analysts' EPS estimates. The company's full-year revenue guidance missed analysts' expectations significantly. This quarter, the market expects revenue growth of 2.5% year on year, a slowdown from the 35.1% increase recorded in the same quarter last year. Analysts covering Herc have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business will stay the course heading into earnings. Herc rarely misses Wall Street's revenue estimates.\n\nAmong Herc's peers in the industrial distributors segment, Richardson Electronics delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 18.9%, beating analysts' expectations by 10.1%, and United Rentals reported revenues up 15.7%, topping estimates by 4.4%. Richardson Electronics's stock price was unchanged after the results, while United Rentals was up 3.3%.\n\n## Herc's Funding and Scale Records\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Herc Holdings reported full-year 2025 revenues of $4.38 billion, a 22.6% increase, and projects 12.5% to 15.8% revenue growth in 2026.
