The lawsuit, spearheaded by the Rosen Law Firm, claims Hertz officials provided false assurances about the company’s financial health during the spring and early summer of 2026. According to the complaint, the company allegedly downplayed a rapid decline in liquidity and failed to acknowledge that softness in the used-car market was negatively impacting net depreciation per unit and adjusted corporate EBITDA. Plaintiffs argue these omissions masked the likelihood of a distressed capital raise that ultimately devalued existing holdings.

Investors are not required to serve as lead plaintiffs to participate in any potential settlement, but those interested in steering the litigation must file a motion with the court before the September 22 deadline.
