The main question: results are strong, and the P/E is higher than 97% of its own history. ## What is the Avis Budget Group share price today? Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s share price was $109.34 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 15 weeks. That is 28.8% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 20 weeks running. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $96 and $494, and at that close it sat 3% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +216% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 18 June 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Avis Budget Group pay? Avis Budget Group, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Avis Budget Group on? Avis Budget Group is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Avis Budget Group profitable? Avis Budget Group, Inc. earned $35.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +775.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY25 year was a loss of $889 M. That is 1.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $4.0 M. 5 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. ## How much revenue does Avis Budget Group make, and is it growing? Avis Budget Group, Inc. reported $3.0 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, −1.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 5.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $11.7 B. The last four reported quarters add to $11.7 B. FY25 revenue was $11.7 B, −1.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +0.6% on average, against 5.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +0.4%, against −0.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Avis Budget Group keep? Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s operating margin was 14.9% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.7 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 8.6% and 35.8%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.3 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. ## Is Avis Budget Group's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 212% of Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $3.3 B of operating cash against −$889 M of profit. After $4.9 B of spending on assets, free cash was −$1.6 B: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Avis Budget Group's cash go? Avis Budget Group, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $14.6 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 41.7% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $14.6 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Avis Budget Group's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s P/E is 8.7×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 97% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 4.1×, over 3.1 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −18.2% a year; about −30.2% a year came from earnings growth and about +12.0 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Avis Budget Group business getting better or worse? Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −630.3% in the latest quarter, against −34.0% at its best in 12 quarters. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. The return-on-capital line is not shown: net worth is negative, so a return on capital means nothing. The balance sheet is in distress, and this reading uses the growth lines alone. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Avis Budget Group earn on its capital? Avis Budget Group, Inc. earned a ROE of 29% in FY25. That is up from a low of −615% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 1.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −7.6% net margin and 0.37× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −7.6% net margin × 0.37× asset turnover × −10.28× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 28.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.7% − 5.1% = −1.4 percentage points. The 5.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Avis Budget Group have too much debt? Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s net worth is negative: it owes more than it owns, so a debt-to-equity ratio means nothing here. Year by year, that ratio went from −85.32 in FY21 to −9.40 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Avis Budget Group shareholding pattern? 30.9% of Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 10.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Avis Budget Group from balance-sheet trouble? For Avis Budget Group, Inc., the Z-score is 0.62. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.62 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Avis Budget Group rank in its industry? 40.0 out of 100, rank 14 of 18 in Rental & Leasing Services, with 64% of the evidence available. Avis Budget Group, Inc. scores 40.0 out of 100 against the 18 companies it is compared with in Rental & Leasing Services, ranking 14. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 18.3 + 9.2 + 11.1 + 1.4 = 40. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Avis Budget Group compared with? Avis Budget Group ranks 14 of 18 Rental & Leasing Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 40.0 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Its P/E of 8.7× is higher than 97% of its own last 3 years (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Avis Budget Group's profit real cash? Yes, over the last 3 years, 212% of Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from operations. The latest year was lower at -371%, so the trend is worth watching. In FY25, operating cash was $3.3 B against reported profit of −$889 M. Most of that cash then goes into building new capacity. These are yearly figures (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Avis Budget Group in its business cycle?

The main question: results are strong, and the P/E is higher than 97% of its own history. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Avis Budget Group a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Avis Budget Group, Inc.'s balance sheet is under water: its net worth is negative, so it owes more than it owns. This is a high-risk situation: shareholders can be wiped out by new shares or a restructuring before the business recovers. The main open question: whether the business can earn its way back to positive net worth before new shares or a restructuring get there first. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026). This is research, not advice. We’re not SEBI-registered.
