Hiring Out Gear Is Ashtead's Game and it could Attract Big Business from a Beleaguered Building Trade

Hello Share Fans. Over the years the big tool-renter Ashtead Group (AHT) has been a big money spinner for me. Though a few years ago, I took the view that what goes up usually always comes down. So I sold the lot. Needless to say, that folly sparked yet another rally. I’m still shy of the shares, though. For the same reason: that good things don’t last forever. However, the firm’s latest numbers look to prove me wrong yet again.

Tool Hire Giant Could Benefit from Higher Costs in the Building Game

Hello Share Fanciers. It’s amazing the way some companies are now making more money than before covid first struck. One such lucky outfit is Ashtead Group (AHT), the Footsie giant that loans out building tools. This company is an irritation to me. At one stage I was so amazed at the energy of a rising share price that I thought it just couldn't go on. And so, after holding for ten years or so, I sold the lot. You can guess what happened next...

This Tool Hiring Giant could Build your Hopes of a Higher Share Price

Hello, Share Jumpers. This old punter is rather surprised at the way Ashtead (AHT) maintains and often improves on its lofty share price. The City seems to love this company which has grown big on hiring out tools and plant to build with. It obviously has very good management that keeps on bringing in the sheaves. Sadly, I disposed of my shares a few years ago.
