Hertz Global Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRZ#NASDAQ">HRZ</a>) reported first-quarter FY24 sales growth of 1.6% year-on-year to $2.08 billion. Adjusted EPS of $(1.28) missed the analyst consensus<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38434391/struggle-for-hertz-continues-as-stock-loses-23-heres-why"> estimate of $(0.44)</a>.
The following are the reactions of various analysts regarding the company's first-quarter earnings.
Goldman Sachs &#8211; Reiterate Sell, slash price target from $7 to $4
Analyst Lizzie Dove noted that Hertz&#8217;s 1Q EBITDA miss has heightened investor concerns, particularly regarding HTZ's First Lien Covenant and its minimum liquidity requirement, which are now increasingly in focus.
Though management expects to refresh the fleet over the next year, the analyst believes cash flow management around the fleet will be the key lever for the company to comply with its covenant requirement.
The analyst's model expects trends to get worse before they get better, with $400 million free cash flow burn in FY24 and does not see a clear catalyst path over the next 12 months.
Vehicle depreciation in 1Q24 increased $588 million, or $339 on a per-unit basis, from 1Q23 and within the $339 per unit increase in the quarter, the company noted that $195 million was related to EVs held for sale.
Of the 20,000 electric vehicles, 10,000 have been sold and the carrying value of the remaining 10,000 have been written down to fair value less costs to sell. Also HTZ decided to sell an additional 10,000 EVs, noted the analyst.
Until there are further proof points on HTZ's ability to turnaround operations and execute on its cost savings strategy, the analyst does not believe HTZ will have sufficient ability to invest meaningfully in the fleet.
BofA Securities &#8211; Downgrade to Underperform from Neutral, slash price target from $9 to $3
According to analyst John P. Babcock, the under performance of HTZ in 1Q was driven by higher fleet costs, which are unlikely to meaningfully subside in the near-term.
Liquidity is also an increasing concern among investors, as HTZ has an older fleet that will need to be refreshed at a time when used vehicles are dropping and new vehicle prices are softening only modestly, noted the analyst.
The analyst said fleet costs are likely to remain above historical levels as used vehicle prices will continue trending lower and that electric vehicle prices are likely to decline further.
With the sizable declines in used vehicle prices, HTZ is collecting fewer proceeds from the sales, the analyst observed.
Rising interest costs in 2024 will limit a potential earnings recovery in 2025, the analyst said.
Morgan Stanley- Reiterate Equal-weight, $9 price target
Analyst Adam Jonas said HTZ posted a surprise negative EBITDA driven by DPU of $592 vs. $342 of Morgan Stanley's expectation as new management appear to be taking more of the up-front pain as they catch up on long overdue mark-to-market on the rental fleet.
Hertz stock lost over 70% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via iShares Core S&amp;P Mid-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJH#NYSE">IJH</a>) and Invesco S&amp;P MidCap 400 Pure Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RFV#NYSE">RFV</a>).
Price Action: HTZ shares were down 5.56% to $4.42 on Friday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Enterprise Prods Partners's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Enterprise Prods Partners's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.95%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Zhihu Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZH#NYSE">ZH</a>, HKEX: 2390)))) ("Zhihu" or the "Company"), a leading online content community in China, today announced that it plans to&nbsp;change the ratio of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") to its Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio Change"), par value US$0.0001 per share, from the current ratio of two ADSs representing one Class A ordinary share to a new ratio of one ADS representing three Class A ordinary shares, effective on or about May 10, 2024, U.S. Eastern Time (the "Effective Date").
For the Company's ADS holders, the ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-six reverse ADS split. Upon&nbsp;the Effective Date, ADS holders will be required to surrender and exchange every six existing ADSs then held for one new ADS. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the depositary bank for the Company's ADS program, will arrange for the exchange. The Company's ADSs will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ZH."
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes, and expenses, where applicable) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. The ADS Ratio Change will have no impact on the Company's underlying Class A ordinary shares, and no ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.
As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionately upon the effectiveness of the ADS Ratio Change, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than six times the ADS trading price before the change.

Clever Leaves Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLVR#NASDAQ">CLVR</a>, CLVRW)))) ("Clever Leaves" or the "Company"), a global medicinal cannabis company, today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") determined to voluntarily delist its common shares, without par value (the "common shares") and warrants, each exercisable for 1/30th common share at an exercise price of $11.50 (the "Warrants" and together with the common shares, the "Securities") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and deregister its Securities in order to terminate and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). &nbsp;
The Company today notified Nasdaq of its intention to voluntarily delist its Securities from Nasdaq. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to effect the delisting and deregistration of its Securities on or about May 6, 2024 to effect the delisting from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, the Company expects the last day of trading of its Securities on Nasdaq will be on or about May 16, 2024.
Following the delisting of the Company's Securities from Nasdaq, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about May 16, 2024 to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. As a result of the filing of the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file certain Exchange Act reports and forms with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will cease. Other SEC filing requirements will terminate upon the effectiveness of the deregistration. The Company expects that the deregistration of its Securities will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC. The documents filed with the SEC will be available on the Company's website below.
The Board's decision comes as part of its evaluation of internal and external options and is the product of careful review and careful consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company's previous and likely future non-compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq that would eventually result in delisting of the Securities by Nasdaq and the required personnel resources and the high costs relating to Exchange Act and Nasdaq disclosure and reporting requirements and related regulatory burdens, which have resulted and would continue to result in significant operating expense.

bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) today announced that it received a notice (the "notice") on April 24, 2024 from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"), it is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule"), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the notice, or until June 24, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule.
On April 16, 2024, bluebird previously announced that it would be delayed in filing its 2023 Form 10-K due to the need to restate the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and unaudited financial information for each of the first three quarters of 2023 and 2022 in its 2023 Form 10-K. The notice from Nasdaq is standard practice in the event of a delayed 10-K filing and was anticipated.
The Company is continuing to work expeditiously to complete the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K as promptly as possible. As previously reported, the restatements relate to the identification of embedded leases and the treatment of non-lease components contained in lease agreements. The Company does not expect the restatements to result in any impact on its cash position or revenue.
