The price needs 0.0% growth a year for ten years. The AI thinks 3.5% is achievable, at a 20.0% margin.
Hertz looks cheap on raw OCF yield but is a debt bomb with $18B owed vs $1.2B market cap and burning cash on fleet buys. It needs steady 3-4% growth from travel rebound and better utilization to justify the price, like recent records show, but peers crush it on profits and history screams caution after EV flops and past bankruptcy. Big risk: Debt crushes any hiccup in rentals.
