United Rentals Inc (URI) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment. While the company has positive long-term prospects, current financial performance, insider selling trends, and mixed analyst sentiment suggest holding off on immediate investment.
The stock's MACD is positive and expanding, indicating a bullish trend. RSI is neutral at 52.328, and moving averages are converging, suggesting indecision in the market. The stock is trading near its pivot level of 845.691, with resistance at 896.33 and support at 795.051. This indicates limited immediate upside potential.
Analysts maintain a generally positive outlook with price targets above the current price, despite recent downgrades.
