EquipmentShare.com Inc. stock analysis
Everything behind the call on EquipmentShare.com Inc. 6 sections, ordered the way risk stacks up: survival first, quality and price in the middle, context last. The Beacon gives you the read. This is where you check the work.
Event and Trend are pulling against each other and one side is clearly ahead. The net lands at -3 over 30d, a leaning reading on a dispersion of 0.23, which makes this a question of size rather than of direction.
median target $33
worst drawdown -54%
Tape 2026-09-25
Factors 2026-09-25
Survival & solvency
Altman-Z of 1.6 against a 3.0 safe threshold, and 1 of 5 forensic checks clear.
Business quality
1% net margin, 8% return on equity, +16% revenue growth, and capital earning 6% against a 9% cost.
No dividend is declared, so nothing here contributes to total return except the price. That is a fact about the security, not a criticism of it.
Price & timing
Price $17.35, RSI 45, and dealers long gamma.
Follow the solid line: each point is a session close. Compare it to the 50-day average — while price stays above it the short-term trend is up, and a drop below is the first structural warning.
The dashed levels are the strikes the options chain is most committed to. They are the same numbers the gamma block states; nothing here is drawn that no section derives.
Entry $17.26 · stop $15.10 · target $18.60, a 0.62:1 ratio. The composer flagged: elevated distress, fair-value reference, low reward to risk, target inside one week's move.
Dealers hedge against the move, which damps volatility around the current strikes. It makes the tape quieter without saying anything about which way it goes.
Ownership & flow
Institutions hold 50%, short interest is 12.43% of float, and 9 analysts average $33.
Independent factors scored and netted to -3 over 30d, a leaning reading. 5 of 9 factors carried a direction; the others scored zero and do not vote. The signal describes where the data leans, not what to do about it.
Descriptive only — a decorrelated read of where the evidence agrees and conflicts, not a forecast and not advice. Patterns are condition lists, not outcome predictions, and are not yet validated to the proof bar. Dispersion of 0.23 means the disagreement is real but not a split decision.
Risk & track record
Beta 1.84, 65% annual volatility, a -54% worst drawdown, and 3 of 8 risk surfaces clear.
Ranked by the size of each factor's own point contribution to the net signal — these are the model's stated reasons, not a written bear case. Each one is scored from the source named beside it.
8 surfaces checked, 3 clear. The binding constraint is position size — the tail cap is the one that binds. Each row states which surface it is and what it measured; a surface that could not be scored says so rather than counting as clear.
The wider context
5 mapped peers, 3 connections.
Look-back returns describe what happened, not what is likely. They are here to set the scale a future move would be measured on.
Bankruptcy-risk score. Above 3.0 is the safe band.
Nine pass/fail health tests; 7 or more is strong.
Accrual and growth pattern screen. Clear below −2.22, watch to −1.78, elevated above; a year of very fast revenue growth lifts it by construction.
Standard deviations of asset value between the company and its debt.
Default frequency calibrated on what actually happened to similar names.
Momentum gauge 0–100. Above 70 is overbought, below 30 oversold.
Average true range — the size of a typical day.
20-day volume-weighted average price — the average paid over the last month; the page shows no intraday VWAP.
A trend-following stop line. A close through it flips the read.
A trailing stop set a few average ranges below the recent high.
Dealer hedging pressure. Negative gamma amplifies moves both ways.
The strikes with the heaviest open interest; they act as ceiling and floor.
The strike where most options expire worthless.
Institutional filings, 45 days after quarter end. Insider trades, within two days.
Independent factors scored and netted into one number.
Share of past calls that resolved in the direction stated.
Calibration measure. Lower means stated probabilities track reality.
Concentration 0–10,000. Above 2,500 means one segment carries the company.
Fits the tail rather than assuming a bell curve, so bad days are not understated.
