Thesis Summary

RB Global entered the second half of 2026 with strong marketplace activity: second-quarter GTV and revenue each grew 11%, and management raised full-year GTV growth guidance to 9%-11%. Automotive volume and market-share gains, together with BigIron's expansion of the agriculture franchise, support durable growth. The offset is weaker monetization, with the service revenue take rate falling 110 basis points to 20.0%, while acquisition execution and leverage require monitoring.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$104.0020%

GTV growth falls below guidance as cautious heavy-equipment customers and weaker transaction economics outweigh automotive growth, while additional acquisition costs or leverage constrain value creation.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$128.9158%
Matches the consensus mean

RB Global delivers within its 9%-11% GTV growth and USD 1,495-1,545 million adjusted EBITDA outlook, with automotive strength and acquired growth offsetting continued pressure on the service revenue take rate.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$152.0022%

Marketplace share gains continue, automotive volumes remain strong, BigIron broadens customer reach in U.S. agriculture, and GTV and adjusted EBITDA finish above the upper ends of management's 2026 outlook.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.

Key Investment Risks
  • The service revenue take rate declined 110 basis points to 20.0% because of acquisition and portfolio mix and automotive pricing incentives.
  • Heavy Equipment & Transportation transaction volumes were pressured by a more cautious customer environment, while acquisitions contributed to reported sector growth.
  • Adjusted net debt was USD 2.3792 billion and adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 1.6 times at June 30, 2026, increasing the importance of acquisition integration and deleveraging discipline.
