The main question: the share price moved +19.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −99.6%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Herc Holdings share price today? Herc Holdings Inc.'s share price was $170.01 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 2 weeks. That is 22.2% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $91 and $180, and at that close it sat 88% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +433% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Herc Holdings pay? Herc Holdings Inc. paid $2.80 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.70 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $170.01 that is a yield of 1.65%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Herc Holdings on? Herc Holdings is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Herc Holdings profitable? Herc Holdings Inc. earned $19.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. Full-year FY25 profit was $1.0 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −74.2% a year on average. That is 1.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier lost $35.0 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $1.0 M (−99.5% on the year before). ## How much revenue does Herc Holdings make, and is it growing? Herc Holdings Inc. reported $1.2 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +20.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 20.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $4.4 B. The last four reported quarters add to $4.9 B. FY25 revenue was $4.4 B, +22.6% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +28.7% on average, against 20.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +28.5%, against +19.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +113.0%, against −62.0% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Herc Holdings keep? Herc Holdings Inc.'s operating margin was 12.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.8 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 15.3% and 21.1%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −3.8 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.8 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Herc Holdings' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 608% of Herc Holdings Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $1.1 B of operating cash against $1.0 M of profit. After $806 M of spending on assets, $279 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Herc Holdings' cash go? Herc Holdings Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $2.9 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 21.9% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $2.9 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Herc Holdings' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Herc Holdings Inc.'s P/E is 46.4×, with too little history to compare. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −99.6% while the price moved +19.7%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +11.1% a year; about −50.6% a year came from earnings growth and about +61.7 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: there is too little history to say whether the multiple is high or low for this company, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Herc Holdings business getting better or worse? Herc Holdings Inc.'s business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −103.9% at its low to +113.0%, improving for 2 quarters in a row, with ROCE steady at 4.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. ## How much does Herc Holdings earn on its capital? Herc Holdings Inc. earned a ROE of 0% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.3 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 0.0% net margin and 0.32× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 0.0% net margin × 0.32× asset turnover × 7.07× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 0.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 5.3% − 8.6% = −3.3 percentage points. The 8.6% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 5.3% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 7.5%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Herc Holdings have too much debt? Herc Holdings Inc. has total debt of $9.6 B against shareholder equity of $1.9 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 5.06× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 2.53 in FY21 to 4.97 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Herc Holdings shareholding pattern? 9.6% of Herc Holdings Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.5 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Herc Holdings from balance-sheet trouble? For Herc Holdings Inc., the Z-score is 0.80. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.80 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Herc Holdings rank in its industry? 49.0 out of 100, rank 10 of 18 in Rental & Leasing Services, with 74% of the evidence available. Herc Holdings Inc. scores 49.0 out of 100 against the 18 companies it is compared with in Rental & Leasing Services, ranking 10. Relative strength against the index is 14.8%, and revenue and profit growth are weak. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.5 + 9.6 + 6.9 + 16 = 49. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Herc Holdings compared with? Herc Holdings ranks 10 of 18 Rental & Leasing Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 49.0 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

## What else do people ask about Herc Holdings? ### What were Herc Holdings's latest quarterly results? Herc Holdings Inc. reported revenue of $1.2 B and net profit of $19.0 M for the Jun 2026 quarter. Earnings per share were $0.57. The operating margin was 12.2%, 3.8 percentage points lower than a year earlier (as of 3 November 2026). ### What is Herc Holdings's market cap? Herc Holdings Inc.'s market capitalisation is $5.7 B at a stock price of $170.01. Market cap is the share price times the number of shares, so it changes whenever the price moves (as of 3 November 2026). ### How is Herc Holdings performing? Herc Holdings Inc.'s share price has been rising for 2 weeks. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, for 2 weeks running. This describes what the data did, not a rating (as of 3 November 2026). ### Will Herc Holdings's stock price go up? This page does not forecast Herc Holdings Inc.'s stock price. What it shows instead: the stock price is $170.01, and it has been rising for 2 weeks. Nobody can reliably say which way a price will move, and this site does not try (as of 3 November 2026). ### Does Herc Holdings have too much debt? Yes, Herc Holdings Inc. has a lot of debt: its debt is 4.85× its equity. A year-by-year history of its borrowings is not in our data, so this uses the latest reading. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Herc Holdings in its business cycle? Herc Holdings Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 15.3%, against a 5-year range of 15.3% to 21.1%: the low end of its own range, which is often where recoveries start. The latest quarter was 12.2%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Herc Holdings story? The main question: the share price moved +19.7% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −99.6%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Herc Holdings a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Herc Holdings Inc.'s share price, valuation and earnings point in different directions. The next one or two quarters should make it clearer. The main open question: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
