Hertz Global Holdings, Inc - Common Stock

Hertz Global Holdings Inc

Beaten-down auto rental stocks, Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) and Avis Budget Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) were sent blazing on Thursday following the announcement of new tariffs on all imported vehicles by U.S. President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Shares of Hertz and Avis posted an impressive rally of 22% and 20%, respectively, in intraday trading, in response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">25% tariffs imposed by the White House</a> on all vehicles that are not manufactured in the U.S.
This explosive rally in auto rental stocks took analysts and investors by surprise, having witnessed steady declines in the sector throughout the past year. Hertz had been dubbed a favorite among short-sellers, with a short interest of 33%, followed by Avis at 11%.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44529927/dow-dips-150-points-following-trumps-auto-tariffs-verint-systems-slides-on-q4-miss-greed-index-remains-in-fear-zone">Dow Dips 150 Points Following Trump&#8217;s Auto Tariffs, Greed Index Remains In Fear Zone</a>
This is precisely what drove the sharp rally, as news of the tariff sent short-sellers running to cover their positions, resulting in a fairly potent short squeeze.
What It Means: The knock-on effect of tariffs on auto rental services seems fairly evident, as consumers will prefer renting cars or rideshare options, as opposed to buying a new car that could now cost several thousand dollars more.&nbsp;
Besides this, rental services <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723775/after-selling-30000-evs-hertz-is-now-chasing-fleet-rotation-to-reduce-losses">replenish their fleet every two years on average</a>, following which their current inventory is sold. Gil West, the CEO of Hertz, thus believes that the increase in the price of new cars will similarly increase the value of its existing fleet in the used market.&nbsp;
Moreover, both these companies have prices ‘locked in' for all new deliveries this year, meaning they will not feel the heat of these tariffs, at least in the short run.
While this compelling short-term rally offers a much-needed respite to both of these companies, very little changes in the long run. With considerable debt at several times free cash flow, and consistently losing market share to rideshare services, Avis and Hertz do need to rethink their business model.&nbsp;
Auto rental stocks aren't entirely immune from the chaotic new tariffs either, with both Hertz and Avis having extensive overseas exposure. The new tariffs and reciprocal ones that are expected from other countries could have a sizable impact on their operations.

Wall Street dipped slightly on Thursday, with all major indexes edging into the red as investors digested President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">move on auto tariffs.</a>

European automakers took a hit, with Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTCPK: MBGAF) and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTCPK: POAHF) sliding 2.5% and 5%, respectively. 
Michigan-based carmakers didn't fare much better. Shares of Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) fell 2.5%, while General Motors Co.

The rally followed comments from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delenay, who pointed to their fully domestic production as a significant advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">under the new tariffs.</a>
Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing over 1% and testing record highs as the U.S. dollar softened. Silver gained 2%, while copper pulled back 2% after a strong run that had lifted it to all-time highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held firm at $86,875, signaling a cautious tone across the crypto market.

Stocks Slide As Auto Tariffs Boost Tesla, Rivian And Hit GM, Ford: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Shares of auto rental companies Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) and Avis Budget Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) surged on Thursday following the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">25% tariff</a> on imported cars and key auto parts by President Donald Trump.
What To Know: Unlike automakers and parts suppliers facing rising costs, rental car companies stand to benefit as higher vehicle prices could drive greater demand for rentals.
With tariffs projected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">increase</a> new car prices by $5,000 to $15,000, consumers may delay purchases and turn to rental services for short-term mobility needs. This shift in consumer behavior could boost revenue for Hertz and Avis, which already maintain large fleets and can adjust rental pricing to capture higher demand.

What Else: Additionally, higher new car costs may slow fleet turnover, potentially improving depreciation metrics and reducing capital expenditures for both companies.
Hertz and Avis, with their established networks and fleet management expertise, could see improved utilization rates and stronger pricing power. 
As consumers and businesses reconsider vehicle ownership in a high-cost environment, rental car companies may emerge as unexpected winners from the new tariff policy.

Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Hertz shares are trading higher by 19.6% to $4.12 Thursday afternoon.</li>
<li>Avis Budget Group shares are trading higher by 19.3% to $73.42 Thursday afternoon.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HTZ Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Hertz&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, HTZ has a 52-week high of $8.20 and a 52-week low of $2.47.

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

<a href="https://x.com/Teamsters/status/1890490565797560703" title="https://x.com/Teamsters/status/1890490565797560703">https://x.com/Teamsters/status/1890490565797560703</a>

Teamsters Posts On X "Hertz Teamsters at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and Palm Beach International Airport have voted to ratify new collective bargaining agreements, ending their strikes"

Car rental firm Hertz Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) CEO Wayne West said on Thursday that it has removed 30,000 EVs from its fleet as planned last year and is planning further fleet revamp.
What Happened: Fleet rotation is now &#8220;well underway,&#8221; West said. 
&#8220;&#8230;as of year-end 2024, over 60% of our fleet was comprised of vehicles 1-year-old or less, and we remain on track to substantially complete our fleet rotation by year-end 2025,&#8221; West said during the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings call. 
The aim, he said, is to achieve depreciation per unit per month of less than $300, down from the $539 reported for the twelve months through December end. 
The company announced its plan to remove a significant number of EVs from its fleet last year after their repair and operating costs proved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39221144/car-rental-firm-hertz-reportedly-seeks-700m-lifeline-as-ev-strategy-stalls">too high to eke out profits</a>.
For 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43694603/hertz-misses-on-revenue-profit-as-fleet-shrinks-costs-weigh">Hertz reported a loss of $2.9 billion</a>, or $9.34 a share. The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter loss per share of $1.18 missed the consensus estimate of around 70 cents.
CEO Comments: &#8220;Through our operational improvements and our fleet management and our effort to sweat the assets, we remain focused on eliminating unproductive vehicles to generate higher utilization,&#8221; West said. 
&#8220;We are working towards turning our vehicles more productively and shortening our vehicle turnaround time from drop-off to rental, reducing vehicle out of service and shortening our vehicle sales cycle times, which drive out waste by leveraging process and technology.&#8221;
Why It Matters: For the first quarter of 2025, the company expects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to be negative. This would turn positive later in the year after roughly breaking even in the second quarter, company CFO Scott Haralson said. 
For full year 2025, the company expects a low single-digit EBITDA margin.
Price Action: Hertz shares closed down 8.5% at $3.9 on Thursday. The stock is down by nearly 50% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
