In a move reflecting Hertz's continued need to shore up liquidity, the company announced the pricing of a registered offering of 37,037,037 shares of common stock at $2.70 per share, to be loaned to J.P. Morgan Securities. The offering price represents a sharp discount to the latest closing price, signaling significant dilution for existing shareholders. According to reports, the offering is expected to raise approximately $100 million for general corporate purposes.
By comparison, Hertz shares closed at $5.14 on June 22, 2026, per market data — roughly 90% above the offering price. The move comes as car rental companies face operational pressures, though Hertz has not yet released recent quarterly results to clarify use of proceeds. No major competitors have announced similar offerings recently, making this step particularly notable.
