Custom Truck One Source Inc (CTOS) is not a strong buy for a beginner, long-term investor at this moment. While there are some positive technical indicators and a promising partnership with HIAB, the company's weak financial performance, including a significant drop in net income and EPS, combined with neutral insider and hedge fund sentiment, suggests a cautious approach. The lack of strong proprietary trading signals further supports a hold recommendation.
The technical indicators show mixed signals. The MACD is positive and expanding, indicating bullish momentum, and the moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). However, the RSI of 81.364 suggests the stock is overbought, which could lead to a short-term pullback. Key resistance levels are at 7.178 and 7.447, while support levels are at 6.743 and 6.307.

The partnership with HIAB to expand distribution networks across 12 U.S. states is a positive development, potentially enhancing market coverage and service capabilities.
The company's financial performance in Q3 2025 shows a significant decline in net income (-66.95% YoY) and EPS (-57.14% YoY), which raises concerns about profitability. Additionally, there is no significant insider or hedge fund activity, indicating a lack of strong institutional confidence.
In Q3 2025, revenue increased by 7.79% YoY to $482.06 million, showing growth in sales. However, net income dropped by 66.95% YoY to -$5.76 million, and EPS fell by 57.14% YoY to -$0.03. Gross margin improved slightly by 3.07% YoY to 18.82%, but the overall financial performance remains weak.
