Friday, June 14, 3:12 PM "We feel the car-rental sector is Virgin territory," says Virgin Group spokesperson Nick Fox. Shares of Avis (CAR -2.4%) and Hertz Global (HTZ -2.6%) sink after Bloomberg reports Richard Branson is interested in acquiring Advantage, which the FTC forced HTZ to sell as part of its deal to buy Dollar Thrifty. Comment! [On the Move]
Tuesday, June 11, 8:34 AM Hertz Global (HTZ) announces it purchased CCL Vehicle Rentals in order to help tap into the U.K. car and van insurance replacement business. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
Wednesday, June 5, 8:12 AM The automobile industry could face some damaging headwinds which will dent auto-related stocks, according to Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas. He sees the decline in the yen and capacity growth which may be accelerating too fast as two significant risks. On the trickle-down theory, the analyst thinks Goodyear Tire & Rubber (GT), Tenneco (TEN), Hertz (HTZ), and Avis Budget (CAR) should be avoided. Comment! [Consumer]
Tuesday, May 28, 7:54 AM Shares of Hertz Global (HTZ) are getting the Barron's bounce, up 3.8% premarket, after a bullish piece extolled the virtues of the company and made a case for shares rising by as much as 70% over the next year or two. A promising note on Hertz is that for every 1% edge it gains in pricing, it can boosts pretax profit by close to 6%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Monday, May 27, 9:30 AM What do hedge funds see that Seeking Alpha readers don't? Of Goldman's list of stocks most-loved by hedge funds, two - John Malone cable plays Virgin Media (VMED) and Charter Communications (CHTR) - are barely followed by our readers, each with less than 500 Real Time Email Alerts subscribers. Another three - Hertz (HTZ), CBS, and Equinix (EQIX) - have, at best, moderate followings (1,100-1,400 subscribers). For comparison: Hess has 3.5K, GM 11.4K, JPM 23K, Google 76K, Apple 180K. While hedge funds as a whole struggle to beat the market, their top 20 holdings have done so with ease this year. 13 Comments [Quick Ideas]
Saturday, May 25, 9:01 AM Getting crowded? After a home-run of a buy idea by Oscar Schaefer at the Roundtable in January, Barron's is back with another bullish call on Hertz (HTZ) - only now the price is 55% higher, the $10B market cap company is a favorite of the hedge fund crowd, and the winners of a recent high-profile investment competition won by pitching a buy of the auto-rental leader. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, May 22, 11:07 AM AIG remains at the top Goldman's list of hedge fund hotels (the 50 stocks appearing most frequently among hedge fund top 10 holdings). Google (GOOG) retains its #2 position. Apple (APPL) - in the top spot for 3 years until February - remains at #3. Goldman notes the basket has outperformed the S&P a bit this year and the top 20 has done better by more than 1000 basis points. We smell an ETF offering. The rest of the top 20: C, GM, PCLN, VMED, NWSA, MSFT, HTZ, JPM, APC, PFE, QCOM, CHTR, HES, CBS, EBAY, DAL, EQIX. 4 Comments
Tuesday, May 7, 9:57 AM The winners of a Pershing Square investment competition at Columbia University Business School pitched Hertz Global (HTZ -1.1%) as a promising investment in a development which looks much more interesting now that a huge block of shares has been unloaded on to the books of underwriters. The students thought an activist investor could help unlock value at Hertz by spinning off its equipment rental business. Is is possible Bill Ackman likes the youthful idea? Comment! [Consumer]
Monday, April 29, 4:18 PM Hertz Global (HTZ): Q1 EPS of $0.21 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $2.43B (+24.3% Y/Y). (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Monday, April 29, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Monday’s close: ANAD, ANH, BWLD, CBL, CRK, CSE, CYH, DTLK, ESRX, GGP, HIG, HLF, HTZ, IDTI, JEC, MAS, MSTR, NEM, PCL, QGEN, RGR, RJET, RVBD, SBAC, SSW, SU, TXRH, VECO 1 Comment [Earnings]

Thursday, April 18, 6:11 AM Hertz (HTZ) has agreed to acquire a 20% stake in China Auto Rental Holdings, the nation's largest car-rental company, for an undisclosed fee. The deal is part of a wider partnership between the two companies that includes China Auto buying all of Hertz's business in the country and rental locations being co-branded. The market has grown quickly in China and is forecast to increase 15% a year through 2015. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
Tuesday, April 2, 10:35 AM Hertz Global (HTZ +5.4%) races higher as its Investor Day starts off with a nice boost in guidance. The information is coming fast and furious from the company but a projection of free cash flow of $550M for 2013 and a 2015 revenue growth target of 12.5% to 13.5% looks juicy to investors. In their presentation, execs pitch the case that the market is undervaluing Hertz by 40% based on historic multiples. (webcast) 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, April 2, 10:20 AM Hertz Global (HTZ +6.6%) and Avis Budget (CAR +5.7%) are both sharply higher in morning trading after Hertz projects 2015 EPS of $3.10-3.30 a share — analysts were predicting $2.39. Comment! [On the Move]
Monday, March 11, 6:06 PM After-hours top gainers, as of 5:30 p.m.: HEK +10%. IRBT +10%. PAY +8%. YUM +6%. HTZ +6%.
After-hours top losers: PWRD -9%. DMND -6%. GOV -5%. [PCRX -5%. SLCA -3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, March 6, 6:08 PM Hertz Global's (HTZ) P-E investors are unloading another 60M shares (15% of outstanding shares); they'll collectively own just 50M shares once the sale is complete. Hertz will buy back 23.2M shares once the sale is complete. A 50M-share sale took place in December. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
