What the filing says
Hertz reported Q2 2026 revenue of $2.396 billion (up 10% YoY) with record second-quarter RPD of $61.98 (up 9% YoY) and RPU of $1,542 (up 8% YoY). Adjusted Corporate EBITDA improved $63M YoY to $81M. The company issued $350M Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 in June, plus $30M greenshoe in July, bringing liquidity to just over $1B. Net DPU at $302 is in line with guidance. Recall headwinds (~$30M EBITDA impact) and higher DOE per day (+4% YoY) pressured margins despite strong pricing.
Why this rating
Strong revenue & pricing growth, EBITDA recovery, and successful financing execution are material positive signs. However, company remains unprofitable on adjusted basis (-$47M adjusted net loss; -$0.11 EPS), fleet depreciation rising sharply (+18% YoY), and LTM adjusted EBITDA still negative at -$59M. Growth is real but profitability path unclear; relative to ~$800M market cap, the $350M debt issuance is significant but near-term pressures remain.
