The big picture
Custom Truck One Source's 2025 results highlight a mixed performance with strong fleet utilization gains offset by declining net income. The company's strategic realignment into two new segments aims to better reflect its operational dynamics and capitalize on secular tailwinds in data center investments, electrification, and infrastructure upgrades. The ability to manage debt and sustain high utilization rates will be key to its future growth.
