Company performance and analyst notes
Alta Equipment reported fourth-quarter 2025 results that exceeded expectations on both the earnings and revenue lines. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter came in at -$0.27 versus a consensus forecast of -$0.32. Revenue for the period was $509 million, ahead of the anticipated $489.56 million, a 3.99% surprise relative to estimates.
Following those results and the company’s forward guidance, Raymond James upgraded its rating on Alta Equipment to Outperform from Market Perform and raised its price target to $9.50 from $6.75, citing the company’s strong 2026 guidance as a primary factor. In contrast, D.A. Davidson left its rating at Neutral with a $7.00 price target, noting a slight reduction in its adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2026 that the firm attributed to weather impacts on the construction equipment segment in the first quarter.
