London Company’s Q2 2026 Small Cap Strategy added McGrath RentCorp (MGRC) to its portfolio, citing MGRC’s B2B rental operation across modular buildings, portable storage, and electronic test equipment with a primarily recurring model. Education revenue accounts for about a third, funded by state/local bonds, delivering stable, longer-duration leases. MGRC has grown market share from roughly 4% to 14%, delivers ROIC above 20%, and maintains a conservatively financed balance sheet that supports organic growth, tuck-in acquisitions, and capital returns.
