6. United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE:URI)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 45

United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE:URI) rents a wide range of construction, industrial, and specialty equipment to sectors like construction, utilities, and government, while also selling used equipment and offering maintenance services. Here’s what Mad Money’s had to say about the company:

“United Rentals was in second, gaining nearly 15% on the news that it’s trying to acquire its competitor H&E Equipment Services. You rarely see an acquirer rally on takeover news unless the shareholders really believe in it, right?”

Cramer recently had some thoughts on United Rentals’ (NYSE:URI) acquisition of H&E for $4.8 billion as we discussed in Jim Cramer Discusses Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, And These 13 Stocks.

“If I were either Jonathan Kanter at the antitrust division of the Justice Department or I was Lina Khan who runs the FTC, I would veto this deal immediately. Why? Because they’re in the same industry. H&E this is a terrific product. It makes, it’s another rental. URI used to be a roll up, they kind of stopped that because they knew that everything would be blocked by antitrust. David, we’re back. You can merge anybody. Why not? You can just merge anybody. These are two companies that could compete, what the heck, why don’t you merge them and make it so everybody’s better for it. Particularly the shareholders.”
