What's Driving This
Analysts raised CAR’s next-year EPS growth estimate from 74.34% to 84.71%, marking a 10.37 percentage-point upgrade that serves as the primary structural driver. The catalyst appears to be Avis securing a $650 million settlement from hedge fund Pentwater, which boosted shares 6.5% after hours and later contributed to an 8% gain amid short-squeeze dynamics. Momentum has continued with additional premarket gains, although the stock remains volatile after a wider-than-expected loss.
