# A Look At Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) Valuation As New Partnerships Broaden Its Post Bankruptcy Business Model

Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) has drawn fresh investor attention after two new partnerships, one with The Home Depot focused on military customers and another with Uber through Oro Mobility, expanded its reach beyond traditional airport rentals.

See our latest analysis for Hertz Global Holdings.

The recent partnerships with The Home Depot and Uber come as the stock trades at $5.81, with an 11.3% year to date share price return but a 6.3% decline in 1 year total shareholder return and a 64.4% decline in 3 year total shareholder return. This suggests that short term momentum has picked up while longer term holders are still sitting on sizeable losses and reassessing risk.

With Hertz reporting US$8,504.0 million of revenue alongside a US$747.0 million loss, yet posting an 11.3% year to date share price return, should you see value at US$5.81 or assume the market is already pricing in any potential future changes?

## Most Popular Narrative: 74.6% Undervalued

According to the most followed narrative on Hertz Global Holdings, the fair value sits at $22.85 per share versus the last close at $5.81. This frames the current price as a steep discount and puts the focus firmly on execution rather than short term trading swings.
