Summary

  • Hertz shares fell another 11% on Thursday, extending a rout that already erased 41% on Wednesday.
  • The selloff followed Hertz's announcement of a concurrent stock issuance and bond offering, alongside preliminary earnings that missed analyst expectations.
  • That two-day slide puts the rental-car company's stock on course for its biggest weekly decline since it re-listed in 2021 after emerging from bankruptcy.
  • The drop marks a record-setting rout for Hertz shares, with financing plans and disappointing results combining to hammer investor sentiment.
