Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. faces a critical setback as a discounted share offering and guidance cut reveal unsustainable reliance on capital markets. Despite solid demand, HTZ's turnaround is undermined by used-vehicle price softness, high depreciation, and a thin balance sheet with LT Debt/Capital near 92%. Valuation appears superficially attractive, but enterprise value metrics expose severe operational weakness relative to debt, with EV/EBITDA at 71x and negative net margins.
