Two years of huge losses, negative equity of -$3.1B and fleet-impairment risk make Avis a balance-sheet-impaired, not-investable name.

Net income -$889M · FY2025

Avis Budget operates the Avis, Budget and Zipcar rental brands with an average fleet of ~684,000 vehicles, but the financials are in distress. FY2025 revenue fell 1.2% to $11.7B and the company posted a net loss of -$889M (diluted EPS -$25.25) on top of a -$1.82B loss in FY2024 — two consecutive years of heavy losses after the 2021-2023 boom. Most damaging, stockholders' equity is deeply negative at -$3.13B and worsening (-34.5%), meaning liabilities exceed assets and the equity has been wiped out by accumulated losses and leverage. Long-term debt rose 12.6% to $6.05B.
