Upturn Advisory & Investor View for RUSHB

09/25/2026: RUSHB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Rush Enterprises B Inc is the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in the United States, primarily focused on selling, servicing, and providing parts for heavy and medium-duty trucks. Its main strength lies in a resilient, recurring-revenue service model that keeps its nationwide fleet customers operational regardless of new truck sales cycles. The company’s primary growth opportunity involves consolidating the fragmented dealership market and leading the maintenance transition for electric and hydrogen commercial vehicles. Key risks include the cyclical nature of the truck market and reliance on specific OEM manufacturers. It is a solid candidate for value and dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to the infrastructure of American logistics.

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 44.1% and approximately 410.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 49.36% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 0.50%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 0.49%
Gabelli Funds LLC 0.43%

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. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.08%

Quantitative Style Profile

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