What's Driving This
The primary driver is the sharp upward revision to Avis’s next-year EPS growth estimate, raised from 74.34% to 84.71% on July 31. This upgrade plausibly reflects the $650 million settlement secured from hedge fund Pentwater, which boosted shares in after-hours trading and fueled short-squeeze dynamics. Momentum has continued as analysts incorporate the windfall into forward estimates, though the stock remains volatile on wider-than-expected quarterly losses.
