Why Is WillScot Mobile Mini Not Exciting?
Despite the more favorable entry price, we're sitting this one out for now. Here are three reasons why WSC doesn't excite us and a stock we'd rather own.
1. Revenue Growth Flatlining
Long-term growth is the most important, but within industrials, a stretched historical view may miss new industry trends or demand cycles. WillScot Mobile Mini’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed significantly as its revenue was flat over the last two years. 
2. Revenue Projections Show Stormy Skies Ahead
Forecasted revenues by Wall Street analysts signal a company’s potential. Predictions may not always be accurate, but accelerating growth typically boosts valuation multiples and stock prices while slowing growth does the opposite.
Over the next 12 months, sell-side analysts expect WillScot Mobile Mini’s revenue to drop by 5.1%, a decrease from its 13.9% annualized growth for the past five years. This projection is underwhelming and indicates its products and services will see some demand headwinds.
3. EPS Took a Dip Over the Last Two Years
While long-term earnings trends give us the big picture, we also track EPS over a shorter period because it can provide insight into an emerging theme or development for the business.
Sadly for WillScot Mobile Mini, its EPS declined by 12.5% annually over the last two years while its revenue was flat. This tells us the company struggled to adjust to choppy demand.
Final Judgment
WillScot Mobile Mini isn’t a terrible business, but it isn’t one of our picks. After the recent drawdown, the stock trades at 18.6× forward P/E (or $19.41 per share). While this valuation is reasonable, we don’t really see a big opportunity at the moment. We're pretty confident there are superior stocks to buy right now. We’d recommend looking at the most dominant software business in the world.
