In a research note recently published, the analysts mention that the rental car companies, including Hertz Global and Avis Budget, are facing significant near-term challenges due to moderating business travel trends and reduction in airline capacity.
Both Avis Budget and Hertz Global Holdings’ cash flows could come under pressure going forward, with the company moving away from program vehicles and relying on reselling, the analysts add. An improvement in sentiment regarding the U.S. economy might lend upside to the companies’ growth prospects going forward, UBS says.
As of April 2, 2008, Hertz Global Holdings’ shares were trading at $12.75, while Avis Budget’s were $11.85.
LOR overall continues to trend downward, but ongoing market and economic conditions could affect future results while the industry deals with staffing and productivity challenges.
