Car rental firm Hertz Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) CEO Wayne West said on Thursday that it has removed 30,000 EVs from its fleet as planned last year and is planning further fleet revamp.
What Happened: Fleet rotation is now &#8220;well underway,&#8221; West said. 
&#8220;&#8230;as of year-end 2024, over 60% of our fleet was comprised of vehicles 1-year-old or less, and we remain on track to substantially complete our fleet rotation by year-end 2025,&#8221; West said during the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter earnings call. 
The aim, he said, is to achieve depreciation per unit per month of less than $300, down from the $539 reported for the twelve months through December end. 
The company announced its plan to remove a significant number of EVs from its fleet last year after their repair and operating costs proved <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39221144/car-rental-firm-hertz-reportedly-seeks-700m-lifeline-as-ev-strategy-stalls">too high to eke out profits</a>.
For 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43694603/hertz-misses-on-revenue-profit-as-fleet-shrinks-costs-weigh">Hertz reported a loss of $2.9 billion</a>, or $9.34 a share. The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter loss per share of $1.18 missed the consensus estimate of around 70 cents.
CEO Comments: &#8220;Through our operational improvements and our fleet management and our effort to sweat the assets, we remain focused on eliminating unproductive vehicles to generate higher utilization,&#8221; West said. 
&#8220;We are working towards turning our vehicles more productively and shortening our vehicle turnaround time from drop-off to rental, reducing vehicle out of service and shortening our vehicle sales cycle times, which drive out waste by leveraging process and technology.&#8221;
Why It Matters: For the first quarter of 2025, the company expects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to be negative. This would turn positive later in the year after roughly breaking even in the second quarter, company CFO Scott Haralson said. 
For full year 2025, the company expects a low single-digit EBITDA margin.
Price Action: Hertz shares closed down 8.5% at $3.9 on Thursday. The stock is down by nearly 50% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) donating a fleet of vehicles for Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the news cycle has been anything but dull. Let&#8217;s dive into the top stories.
Hertz Trims Fleet with Discounted EVs
In a bid to reduce its fleet, car rental company Hertz has been selling used electric vehicles for as low as nearly $12,000. The discounted EVs include models from Chevrolet, Tesla, and Subaru. For example, a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV in Denver is listed for sale on Hertz&#8217;s website for $11,985, while a 2022 Tesla Model 3 base sedan in Oklahoma is priced at $17,921.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk envisions a future where Tesla car owners can rent their vehicles to the company&#8217;s robotaxi fleet, likened to a combination of Airbnb and Uber.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Quantum Computing, Tesla, AMD — And Whales Buy 270 Million Dogecoin Over 4 Days

Car rental company Hertz Global Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) is selling used electric vehicles for as low as nearly $12,000 in a bid to offload them from its fleet.
What Happened: A used model year 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV in Denver is listed for sale on the company website for $11,985. While most of the low-priced EVs are Chevrolet Bolts, the company has also listed EV models from rival brands such as Tesla and Subaru.
For instance, a model year 2022 Tesla Model 3 base sedan in Oklahoma is priced at $17,921 on Hertz&#8217;s website. The model year 2023 Subaru Solterra Premium SUV in Denver, meanwhile, is priced at $20,581.
The website has 199 electric vehicles listed for sale, the highest priced of which is a Ford Mustang Mach-E GT SUV in Phoenix which has traveled barely 4000 miles. The vehicle is priced at $65,000 on Hertz&#8217;s website. 
The Mach-E, in fact, accounts for over half of the EVs listed for sale on the company website. The vehicle&#8217;s premium variant has a starting price of around $59,000. 
Hertz is also reportedly sending cheap buyout options to rental customers, as flagged by a Reddit user. The screenshot shared by the user shows Hertz pitching the model year 2023 Model 3 to the renter for $17,913. The vehicle had reportedly traveled less than 30,000 miles, making the offer a steal deal. A brand new Model 3 in the U.S. starts at $42,490 without offers.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Hertz announced that it is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/01/36606533/tesla-bulls-at-odds-after-hertzs-ev-selloff-blow-for-musks-company-or-black-eye-mom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">looking to reduce its EV fleet by 20,000 units</a>&nbsp;through 2024, citing high repair costs and depreciation as the driving factor. However, at the company's first-quarter earnings call in April, then company COO&nbsp;Justin Keppy&nbsp;said that it has increased the EV disposal plan by another 10,000 units, taking the total number of EVs it intends to remove to 30,000. 
"Upon completion, we anticipate that the remaining EV fleet will be better aligned with attractive demand for EVs with a priority on our rideshare business," <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38453221/another-blow-to-tesla-hertzs-ev-disposal-plan-jumps-by-10k-as-car-rental-company-aims-for-95-gas-pow">Keppy then said.</a> 
The company then also said that it expects to see the benefits of reducing EVs from the fleet in the second half and for EVs deployed outside of rideshare to comprise just about 5% of its global fleet as of the end of 2024.

Hertz Sells Used EVs Including Chevrolet Bolt, Tesla Model 3 For As Low As $12,000 As It Looks To Trim Its Fleet

AAA expects record-setting travel numbers for Thanksgiving 2024 with an estimated 79.9 million travelers, up 2% from the previous record set last year. Here's what to know Tuesday before hitting the road later this week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42170721/thanksgiving-dinner-gobbles-up-19-more-cash-this-year-many-holiday-hosts-already-regret-their-decision">for the holiday. </a>
What To Know: AAA attributes the staggering number of travelers to economic growth, declining inflation and strong income gains, which it sees boosting consumer spending by 4.6% compared to last Thanksgiving.&nbsp;

"We expect to see record travel numbers across the board," said Debbie Haas, vice president of Travel for AAA – The Auto Club Group. 
"With more people taking to the roads, skies, rails and sea; travelers should expect congested roads and longer lines at transportation terminals," Haas added. 
On The Road: AAA <a href="https://newsroom.acg.aaa.com/aaa-record-number-of-travelers-expected-to-travel-for-thanksgiving/#">projects more than</a> 71 million travelers will take a road trip over Thanksgiving which would beat the previous record set in 2019 by 1.1 million travelers.&nbsp;
Drivers fueling up at Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) or Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) gas stations can expect significantly lower prices than last year with gas hovering near $3 per gallon. The national average is $3.01 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

"As Americans prepare to hit the road for Thanksgiving, we're seeing the lowest national average price of gasoline since 2021, with a far better economic picture than when gas prices were last this low," GasBuddy said in its <a href="https://www.gasbuddy.com/go/2-cents-shy-of-2-99-national-average-declines-for-6th-straight-week">weekly report</a>.&nbsp;
For travelers looking to rent a car at their destination, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) says Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Oahu, Orlando and Phoenix are the cities with the highest rental demand for the Thanksgiving holiday. The busiest car pick-up day is expected to be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and the busiest rental return days will be the Monday and Tuesday after the holiday.
In The Air: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said that it is "prepared for the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record." The TSA expects to screen 18.3 million people from Tuesday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Dec. 2, representing a volume increase of approximately 6% over the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday.
"As we approach Thanksgiving, TSA is ready to accommodate record passenger volumes," said TSA Administrator David Pekoske.
&nbsp;"The 10 busiest travel days in TSA's history have all occurred in 2024, and we anticipate that trend to continue," Pekoske added.&nbsp;
Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) said <a href="https://news.delta.com/numbers-thanksgiving-holiday-travel-delta">it is expecting</a> 6.5 million customers this Thanksgiving holiday travel period, up 5% from one year ago, and reminds travelers to arrive early and anticipate larger crowds at security checkpoints and in the airport terminals. 
Eyes On The Skies: Americans are preparing for what could be the busiest travel week on record, but weather conditions may not cooperate in some parts of the country.  According to an AP <a href="https://apnews.com/article/thanksgiving-holiday-travel-airports-roads-38cfcfe5f9d7b19fdc9d843827ed21f9">report</a>, an Arctic blast is taking aim at the Midwest and a nor'easter will move up the East Coast bringing cold and wet conditions that could disrupt travel over the holiday weekend. 
"The system doesn't look like a powerhouse right now," Hayden Frank, a meteorologist with the weather service in Massachusetts, said Sunday. "Basically, this is going to bring rain to the I-95 corridor so travelers should prepare for wet weather. Unless the system trends a lot colder, it looks like rain."

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) shares are trading lower Tuesday after the company reported third-quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HTZ/earnings">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Hertz Global posted a third-quarter loss of 68 cents per share, missing the consensus estimate for a loss of 50 cents per share. Revenue for the quarter fell 3.8% year-over-year to $2.6 billion, below analyst projections of $2.7 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The company noted that its third-quarter results were impacted by a $1 billion non-cash asset impairment charge, mainly due to decreased fleet residual values as Hertz accelerated its fleet rotation initiative. The company&#8217;s rotation strategy led to a notable increase in vehicle depreciation expenses, which hit $937 million for the quarter, up substantially from the previous year.
CEO Gil West commented on Hertz's ongoing transformation, stating that the company is focused on its "back-to-basics strategy" aimed at sustainable, long-term shareholder returns. Hertz aims to complete its fleet rotation by the end of 2025, at which point it anticipates that depreciation per unit will normalize to under $300.
&#8220;Our team&#8217;s commitment to both our customers and our strategic objectives were evident throughout the summer. This dedication is reflective of our ongoing endeavors to improve operational performance and reposition the Company to achieve against its value proposition,&#8221; West said.
&#8220;There is still work to be done, but I am confident that the enhancements achieved over the course of this quarter demonstrate that we are on the right track.&#8221;
HTZ Price Action: Hertz Global shares were down 1.63% at $3.31 at the time of publication, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro.</a>
