comments point to similar mixed market conditions WSC has been noting, with large Price (31 Jul 2026) US$24.15

projects outpacing local, though commentary regarding stabilizing local projects could RIC: WSC.O BBG: WSC US

be interpreted positively. MGRC also noted shipments exceeding returns within

modular, an encouraging sign, while portable storage market remains challenged (both Trading data and key metrics

in line with expectations). For WSC, we believe the company has room to beat/raise in 52-wk range US$29.07-14.98
