Now at 15x earnings, still 20% discount to market. When a stock price rises, ideally you want the multiple to stay the same. It would mean organic growth matches price appreciation, both moving forward at the same time. With a dramatic move in price, ask yourself if you still want to hold? 

Economically sensitive. Be careful. Don't want to own it into a recession. Deep recession would hurt. Market seems on solid economic ground, so he's holding. If it gets too big in the portfolio, he'll trim. Still likes it. 

Look at the background. Companies like this live on government spending. US government's passing all kinds of bills to support the economy, like CHIPS and Infrastructure, to the tune of $2T. URI will get a big piece of this money.

Quality company. Suffered a while ago due to worries of recession. Cyclical, as people only rent when they have a lot of confidence in projects. Recovered because people are seeing the end of the hiking cycle, economy continues to be strong. Low multiple with high growth rates, a great combination.

She sold URI. Held it for a long time and it did well for her. As supply chains ease, the rental market will decline as people buy more.
