In 2024 and 2025, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTZ) had made a costly and rapid push into Electric Vehicles (EVs) that led to high repair costs and depreciation. This year, the firm seems to be in course correction mode. It has been liquidating high-maintenance EVs and returning to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to stabilize its margins. A new strategic alliance announced earlier this month integrates Hertz into T-Mobile’s Un-carrier lifestyle perks. Top investors view this as a low-cost customer acquisition engine that could drive higher utilization rates during the peak 2026 summer travel season.
