Upturn Advisory & Investor View for RUSHB

10/23/2026: RUSHB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Rush Enterprises B Inc is a major commercial vehicle dealership network in the United States, providing a comprehensive range of truck sales, parts, and maintenance services. The company's primary strength lies in its diversified, recurring revenue streams from aftermarket parts and service, which help buffer the cyclical nature of its new truck sales. Growth is expected to be supported by the ongoing fleet replacement cycle and a transition toward supporting advanced vehicle technologies like electric powertrains. However, investors face risks related to macroeconomic volatility, interest rate impacts on floorplan financing, and potential shifts in manufacturer distribution models. This stock may suit investors seeking exposure to the U.S. logistics infrastructure, while monitoring the transition to alternative-fuel vehicles.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
RUSHB receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
RUSHB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 7.7%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-13.3%), slightly negative revenue growth (-4.7%), soft profitability (net margin 3.5%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
RUSHB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (7.7% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is RUSHB's strongest growth driver at +207.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-4.7%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (-13.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 44.3% and approximately 410.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 49.36% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
RUSHB generates approximately $187 of gross profit, $53 of operating income, and $77 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins explain the 2-star rating, with solid cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.08%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
RUSHB has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
