Hertz: A Value Analysis After The Bill Ackman Rally

  • Hertz shares surged 44% after Bill Ackman acquired a 20% stake, making him the second-largest investor and sparking speculation of activist changes. Hertz faces financial challenges with declining cash reserves and rising debt, but Ackman's involvement could facilitate capital raises and strategic AI-related expansions. Despite financial woes, Hertz's valuation is attractive, trading at a discount to the sector and its historical averages, offering potential for short-term gains.
