Ashtead (AHT) ... United Rentals (URI) downgrades appear ominous

9th February 2015

Pursuant to a series of downgrades over recent months to United Rentals (URI US, mkt cap $8.7 billion), I shorted a little Ashtead (AHT LN, mkt cap £5.5 billion). After all, one would imagine that those closer to home know the score.
