Current thesis
Q1 delivered Hertz's strongest year-over-year revenue growth in three years, improving RPD, better net DPU, and a narrower adjusted loss. Confirmation of those trends in Q2, alongside the Oro Mobility launch and available liquidity, could support a recovery from the depressed $1.53 anchor price [#SEC-8K-2026-05-07].
