Hertz warns on Q2 earnings, stock drops as used-car slump weighs
Hertz shares plunged nearly 28% to $3.62 after the company warned Q2 core profit will hit the low end of guidance due to steep used-car sale losses, pushing vehicle depreciation to about $300 per unit per month; Hertz also announced $300 million in PIK notes and a $100 million share-lending deal, with the stock on track for its worst one-day drop and lowest close since April 2025.
