Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) reported financial results for the first quarter after the market close on Monday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45362896/hertz-reports-significant-progress-towards-key-milestones-for-first-quarter-2025">of the report</a>.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Q1 Revenue: $1.81 billion, versus <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/htz/earnings">estimates</a> of $2 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Q1 Adjusted Loss: $1.12, versus estimates of 97 cents</li>
</ul>
Total revenue declined 13% on a year-over-year basis, primarily driven by reduced fleet capacity, which was down 8% year-over-year. The company said its fleet rotation is delivering results, with vehicle depreciation down 45% year-over-year. 
Hertz said it&#8217;s targeting less than $300 of depreciation per unit in the second quarter, with model year 2025 vehicles already achieving this target. The company noted that more than 70% of its core U.S. rental fleet is 12 months old or newer. 
Hertz ended the quarter with $1.2 billion of corporate liquidity and said it remains on track to achieve positive adjusted corporate EBITDA by the third quarter of 2025. 
&#8220;Given macro demand uncertainties, it is intentionally running a tighter fleet year-over-year while capitalizing on the strong residual value environment to accelerate the rotation of its remaining older vehicles,&#8221; the company said in the earnings release.
&#8220;Looking forward, the Company sees both macroeconomic uncertainty and opportunity. The Company has recently seen demand moderate for corporate, government and U.S. inbound segments while forward bookings for Hertz leisure are up year-over-year. The Company intends to remain prudent in its fleet management, entering the summer with a relatively tight fleet, and thereby leveraging rising residual values.&#8221;
Hertz executives will further discuss the quarter on a conference call with investors and analysts at 9 a.m. ET Tuesday morning.
HTZ Price Action:<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/htz"> Hertz shares</a> were down 3.60% after hours, trading at $6.69 at the time of publication Monday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Hertz shares surged last month after Bill Ackman's&nbsp;Pershing Square Capital Management reported a sizable stake in the company. Despite Monday&#8217;s after-hours decline, the stock is still up approximately 89% year-to-date.

Forecasting The Future: 27 Analyst Projections For Nike

In the current session, the stock is trading at $121.68, after a 4.77% increase. Over the past month, Wintrust Financial Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTFC#NASDAQ">WTFC</a>) stock increased by 18.17%, and in the past year, by 18.23%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747087223_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Wintrust Financial P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Wintrust Financial has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 12.08 of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747087223_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
