1 of 80 tracked investors hold HTZ. Each row is the investor's latest 13F; change is vs their prior-quarter share count.

Insider sales (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (HTZ)

0 of 1 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (scheduled in advance). Unplanned sales were timed by the insider.

% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).

Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.

HTZ company outlook (results filed Aug 6, 2026)

• “Hertz's U.S. core fleet now consists of approximately 94% model year 2025 and 2026 vehicles. • Adjusted Direct Operating Expense (DOE) per Day increased 4% year over year; slightly higher than the Company's expectations, due primarily to higher revenue-related variable costs and higher expenses related to sale leaseback transactions.”
• “Continued commercial momentum drove RPU above both the Company's expectations and its North Star target, increasing 8% year over year despite elevated recalls.”
• “As a result of this continued momentum, backed by a more balanced industry supply-demand environment, Hertz's full-year RPU is expected to trend above its North Star target of $1,500.”
• “The Company produced Net DPU in line with its revised expectations at $302.”
