Herc Holdings Inc. (ISIN US4270561065) traded at USD 140.87 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, up 4.05 percent, or USD 5.48, from the prior close of USD 135.26. The move puts the equipment rental group at a market capitalization of USD 4.52 billion, while the stock remains below its 52-week high of USD 188.35.

Quarterly revenue reaches USD 1.204 billion

The operating backdrop is defined by the second quarter of 2026. According to Barchart in its September 21, 2026 HRI overview, Herc Holdings reported equipment rental revenue of USD 1.072 billion for Q2/2026, an increase of 23 percent from the prior-year period.

Total revenue reached USD 1.204 billion in Q2/2026, up 20 percent year over year, according to the same reported results cited by Barchart. The comparison matters because rental revenue grew faster than total revenue, making fleet utilization, pricing and the contribution from acquired operations central to the earnings profile.

Q2 earnings provide the operating anchor

The most recent earnings figure listed by Barchart was USD 1.43 on July 28, 2026. The same source lists trailing-twelve-month earnings per share of USD 6.37 and annual sales of USD 4.376 billion, giving the Q2 revenue figure a direct connection to the company's current operating scale.

Herc also increased its 2026 full-year guidance alongside the Q2/2026 results, according to the results summary carried by Barchart. The counter-factor is visible in the same reporting context: the full-year sales outlook was described as missing expectations, so revenue growth alone does not remove execution risk.

Stock sits near the middle of range

At USD 140.87 on September 22, 2026, HRI was 25.30 percent below its 52-week high of USD 188.35 and USD 52.42 above its 52-week low of USD 88.45. The stock therefore combines a 4.05 percent daily gain with a valuation position well away from the year's upper boundary.

Trading activity also increased the relevance of the move: the latest regular-session volume shown in the September 22, 2026 market snapshot was 412,610 shares. The market capitalization of USD 4.52 billion and the 52-week range of USD 88.45 to USD 188.35 provide the clearest current frame for weighing Q2 growth against the uneven share-price path.
