What were the trends in key operating metrics such as truck utilization, rental rates, and average revenue per unit?

Answer

The news release you provided focuses on U‑Haul Holding Company’s (UHAL) first‑quarter fiscal 2026 financial results—specifically net earnings, earnings per share, and a brief mention of the companies in the corporate family. It does not include any data or commentary on the operational metrics you’re asking about, such as:

  • Truck utilization (e.g., percentage of the fleet in use, miles per truck, or fleet‑size changes)
  • Rental rates (e.g., average daily or weekly rental price, changes in pricing strategy, or rate trends across regions)
  • Average revenue per unit (e.g., revenue generated per truck, per storage unit, or per other asset)

Because those key operating figures are absent from the excerpt, I’m unable to describe the trends for them based on this particular news item.

If you have access to a more detailed earnings call transcript, an investor presentation, or a full press release that includes a “Operating Metrics” or “Management Discussion & Analysis” section, those would typically contain the information you need. Feel free to share any additional material, and I can help interpret the trends accordingly.
