Carl Icahn sold 55 million shares, approximately a 39% stake, at a huge loss. Hertz has $19 billion of debt. Now that Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ) NYSE filed bankruptcy, all of their debt must be satisfied with the lenders before the shareholders get anything.
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ) NYSE is trying to raise more cash to extend its business. If Hertz can recover once the air and transportation businesses recover after COVID-19, Hertz could recover in a rebounding economy.
In a court filing Hertz announced it wants to offer as many as $246 million shares, helping give them the capital they need to extend the business and get out of massive debt. People are bidding up the stock. The stock gained 41% on optimism that a rebound in the economy is coming.
