Hertz SEO
We had previously discussed the Hertz bankruptcy filing. In an
indication that the current economic conditions caused by the COVID-19
lockdown are unique, Hertz is planning a secondary stock offering
while in bankruptcy. An SEO in the middle of a bankruptcy filing has
never been attempted before. The company has warned prospective
shareholders that it is unlikely that they will receive anything in
bankruptcy, and barring a rapid improvement in the company's prospects,
will almost certainly be wiped out. Based on the current stock price,
Hertz hopes to raise $500 million. Hertz currently owes about $2.3
billion. This is certainly an SEO we are not trying to jump in line to
buy.
