Winston Score History

The full picture

McGrath RentCorp rents and sells modular buildings and electronic test equipment to businesses, schools, governments, and construction companies across the United States. Its modular buildings include portable classrooms, office trailers, and storage containers, while its electronics division rents specialized testing gear to engineers and manufacturers. The company is one of the largest modular building rental companies in the US.

McGrath makes most of its money from rental fees, which provide steady, recurring income over multi-year contracts. It operates almost entirely within the United States and generates roughly $800 million in annual revenue. Its large owned fleet of modular units is expensive for competitors to replicate quickly, giving it a durable advantage in local markets. The main risk the company faces is a slowdown in construction activity or school enrollment trends, both of which directly drive demand for its portable space solutions.
