If you believe HTZ can reverse negative margins and return to sustained profitability, then you can argue for a contrarian long because the current price is near the bottom of its historical range and the P/S-based model implies large upside; otherwise, the data favors caution because HTZ’s losses and weak quality do not support SAM-like valuation.
The valuation gap is driven by a very low current price for HTZ versus a much higher P/S-based implied value, but that implied price is not well anchored by operating fundamentals. HTZ trades at $1.56, near the low end of its historical band of $1.40 to $1.72, while SAM-implied range is far above current levels at $26.41.
