Hertz Global Holdings, Inc - Common Stock (HTZ)

A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after an unexpectedly sharp rise in wholesale inflation fueled concerns about rising costs and their impact on corporate profits. The primary catalyst was the July 2025 Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of inflation at the wholesale level, which jumped 0.9% against forecasts of a 0.2% rise. This represents the most significant monthly increase in over three years, pointing to mounting cost pressures for manufacturers, with tariffs cited as a key factor. This data complicates the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decisions, as persistent inflation may prevent rate cuts, creating a headwind for cyclical sectors like Industrials.

Lingering issues are weighing on the stock, particularly a significant drop in free cash flow, which plummeted to negative $2.7 billion, raising concerns about the company's liquidity.

BofA Securities reiterated its "Underperform" rating, citing "macroeconomic uncertainty and signs of travel demand waning." Similarly, Goldman Sachs maintained its "Sell" rating on the stock, believing the longer-term outlook remains challenging despite the recent quarterly performance. With a significant debt load of over $18.4 billion, investors seem to be focusing on these fundamental weaknesses rather than the short-term earnings surprise.
