Goldman analyst David Tamberrino downgraded shares of Avis Budget from Neutral to Sell and lowered the six-month price target from $37 to $33.

The analyst said he expects corporate EBITDA growth to be more subdued than consensus estimates, with Goldman's 2018 EBITDA estimate for Avis Budget 30 percent below the Factset consensus.
"Overall, we believe sustained competition from industry market share leader Enterprise (which has continued to take share) as well as increasing availability of ride-share competition on-airport, in combination with rising interest rates and a reversion in residual value trends will keep rental car earnings more flat year-over-year in 2018 and below Street expectations," Tamberrino said.
The Price Action
Avis Budget shares were up about 7 percent over the past year until Tuesday.
Reacting to the downgrade, the shares were slumping more than 6 percent percent to $37.71 in pre-market trading.
