Investment Thesis — WillScot Holdings Corporation
The market overreacts to WillScot's cyclical exposure and recent underperformance, missing the embedded operating leverage and pricing power in its modular space solutions business. As temporary demand headwinds fade, normalized margins and cash flows will surprise to the upside.
Catalysts

- Evidence of pricing power and margin expansion in quarterly results
- Strategic M&A or capital return announcements
Risk Factors

- Rising interest rates increasing debt servicing costs
