I looked at PEERS for United Rentals https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/URI which rents CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT..and what does SA show as comparable: Ulta beauty [Because construction guys want the right lipstick?] STZ ..do they drink on the job LRCX semiconductiors.
This is quite strange. We will take a look at this. In the meantime, you may find our "Stocks Most Mentioned In Articles With URI" to be what you are looking for, You can see that here:https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/URI/peers/related-stocks
Premium subscribers can create custom peer comparisons as well.

Im going to sign up for premium,but your "peers"are ridiculous...You need to have stocks in a particular industry group as peers...TSLA peers are FB,AMZN,NFLX,AAPL,MSFT???? Thats really sloppy and lazy on your behalf.You can not expect users to research the industry group and type in the correct peers..
Hi,
Currently, we show peers as those tickers that have the highest mode of being clubbed with the target ticker in our users' existing portfolio.
For Ex. Q - what are the 5 most common tickers in our users' portfolio along with TSLA?
A. FB,AMZN,NFLX,AAPL,MSFT.
But we're updating this logic to include sector and industry matching and this should be rolled out in the coming weeks. Stay Tuned.

Kushal: You state that "Currently, we show peers as those tickers that have the highest mode of being clubbed with the target ticker in our users' existing portfolio." But this is not a peer. If you want to show these, add a category entitled "What Our Users Who Buy This Stock Also Buy." Peers are similar equities based on market and company data. I am very glad you are reviewing this--but please don't "update" the logic to include other factors, get rid of you existing formula for peers and start over.

Hi,
We made a major update to this logic around 2 weeks ago and it's vastly improved. Please take a look and let us know your thoughts. If you see issues, please bring specific examples.
