AI was not meaningfully discussed on this call. The only technology-adjacent reference was a brief mention of 'industry-leading technology' to improve customer and operational productivity, with no explicit connection to AI, machine learning, or any named AI product. Data centers were mentioned as a demand vertical driving equipment rental revenue, but solely as a customer end-market rather than an AI investment or capability discussion.

    Analyst questionparaphrased· Morgan Stanley· Angel Castillo Malpica
    Could you just give us a little bit more color on kind of the various key end markets, how you're seeing that play out?
    data center has been a big part of that and everybody focuses on that. But as I said in my opening remarks, it's a lot broader than just data centers. And non-res construction overall, even ex data centers, is still really strong.
