It leases, sells, delivers and installs modular buildings, including mobile offices, office complexes, classrooms, blast-resistant modules and clearspan structures, along with portable storage containers and trailers. Customers can add workstations, furniture, power and solar, telematics, connectivity, security and perimeter solutions, so a site is ready to use from the first day.

What is WillScot worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, WillScot's most-likely value is about $24 versus a recent price near $17 (42% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$14) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
⚠ High leverage — net debt is 9.1× annual cash flow. Net debt is subtracted from this fair value, but refinancing at higher rates, principal timing, and share dilution aren’t modeled — the equity can be worth far less if cash flow weakens.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
