uniQure, Hertz Global, Eli Lilly And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Avis Budget Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) shares jumped Wednesday, gaining 4.3% to $72.69 during regular trading and rising another 3.2% to $74.99 in after-hours trading. The move came as investors responded to news that billionaire investor Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44838080/hertz-global-stock-soars-after-pershing-square-hops-in-passenger-seat-whats-going-on">significantly increased its stake</a> in Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>).
What To Know: Ackman's firm revealed in a late filing that it had accumulated 12.71 million Hertz shares as of Dec. 31, or 4.1% ownership, but a CNBC report later revealed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44853443/hertz-stock-accelerates-into-the-close-shares-continue-to-move-higher-after-hours-heres-why">stake had quietly grown to 19.8%</a>, making Pershing Square the second-largest Hertz shareholder. Ackman reportedly secured a confidential treatment provision from the SEC, allowing him to delay disclosure while building the position.
While Avis and Hertz are direct competitors in the rental car space, if tariffs don't affect used cars (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44853443/hertz-stock-accelerates-into-the-close-shares-continue-to-move-higher-after-hours-heres-why">as is reportedly Ackman's thesis</a>), rental fleets could become a safer asset class, which could generally signal broader confidence in the car rental sector.
Rising used car prices or stabilization in that market also improves the value of rental fleets and boosts potential resale margins, a key revenue stream for companies like Hertz and Avis.
Avis shares are also heavily shorted—about 32.5% of shares, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?gspk=bHVrZWphY29iaTUzNDg&amp;gsxid=ZKf4B99POPEe">Benzinga Pro</a>. That means positive news, like Bill Ackman's large investment in Hertz, could spark a short squeeze and push the stock even higher.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CAR Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Avis Budget Group&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CAR has a 52-week high of $132.25 and a 52-week low of $54.03.

What's Going On With Avis Budget Group (CAR) Stock?

Beaten-down auto rental stocks, Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) and Avis Budget Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) were sent blazing on Thursday following the announcement of new tariffs on all imported vehicles by U.S. President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Shares of Hertz and Avis posted an impressive rally of 22% and 20%, respectively, in intraday trading, in response to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">25% tariffs imposed by the White House</a> on all vehicles that are not manufactured in the U.S.
This explosive rally in auto rental stocks took analysts and investors by surprise, having witnessed steady declines in the sector throughout the past year. Hertz had been dubbed a favorite among short-sellers, with a short interest of 33%, followed by Avis at 11%.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44529927/dow-dips-150-points-following-trumps-auto-tariffs-verint-systems-slides-on-q4-miss-greed-index-remains-in-fear-zone">Dow Dips 150 Points Following Trump&#8217;s Auto Tariffs, Greed Index Remains In Fear Zone</a>
This is precisely what drove the sharp rally, as news of the tariff sent short-sellers running to cover their positions, resulting in a fairly potent short squeeze.
What It Means: The knock-on effect of tariffs on auto rental services seems fairly evident, as consumers will prefer renting cars or rideshare options, as opposed to buying a new car that could now cost several thousand dollars more.&nbsp;
Besides this, rental services <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43723775/after-selling-30000-evs-hertz-is-now-chasing-fleet-rotation-to-reduce-losses">replenish their fleet every two years on average</a>, following which their current inventory is sold. Gil West, the CEO of Hertz, thus believes that the increase in the price of new cars will similarly increase the value of its existing fleet in the used market.&nbsp;
Moreover, both these companies have prices ‘locked in' for all new deliveries this year, meaning they will not feel the heat of these tariffs, at least in the short run.
While this compelling short-term rally offers a much-needed respite to both of these companies, very little changes in the long run. With considerable debt at several times free cash flow, and consistently losing market share to rideshare services, Avis and Hertz do need to rethink their business model.&nbsp;
Auto rental stocks aren't entirely immune from the chaotic new tariffs either, with both Hertz and Avis having extensive overseas exposure. The new tariffs and reciprocal ones that are expected from other countries could have a sizable impact on their operations.

Trump's Auto Tariffs Spark Short Squeeze Rally in Hertz And Avis, But Will It Last?

Wall Street dipped slightly on Thursday, with all major indexes edging into the red as investors digested President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">move on auto tariffs.</a>
Late Wednesday, Trump announced a 25% tariff on all auto imports starting next week, with duties on auto parts set to follow in May.
European automakers took a hit, with Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTCPK: MBGAF) and Porsche Automobile Holding SE (OTCPK: POAHF) sliding 2.5% and 5%, respectively. 
Michigan-based carmakers didn't fare much better. Shares of Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) fell 2.5%, while General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) plunged 6.5%, with the latter marking the worst performance on the S&amp;P 500.
In contrast, U.S. electric vehicle makers rallied. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) rose 2.6%, and Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) jumped 5%. The rally followed comments from Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delenay, who pointed to their fully domestic production as a significant advantage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">under the new tariffs.</a>
Meanwhile, gold extended its rally, climbing over 1% and testing record highs as the U.S. dollar softened. Silver gained 2%, while copper pulled back 2% after a strong run that had lifted it to all-time highs.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held firm at $86,875, signaling a cautious tone across the crypto market.

Stocks Slide As Auto Tariffs Boost Tesla, Rivian And Hit GM, Ford: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Shares of auto rental companies Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>) and Avis Budget Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAR#NASDAQ">CAR</a>) surged on Thursday following the announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44517885/trump-slaps-25-tariffs-on-autos-what-it-means-for-your-next-car-purchase">25% tariff</a> on imported cars and key auto parts by President Donald Trump.
What To Know: Unlike automakers and parts suppliers facing rising costs, rental car companies stand to benefit as higher vehicle prices could drive greater demand for rentals.
With tariffs projected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44515578/trumps-25-tariff-set-to-hike-imported-car-prices-up-to-15000-higher-goldman-sachs-warns">increase</a> new car prices by $5,000 to $15,000, consumers may delay purchases and turn to rental services for short-term mobility needs. This shift in consumer behavior could boost revenue for Hertz and Avis, which already maintain large fleets and can adjust rental pricing to capture higher demand.

What Else: Additionally, higher new car costs may slow fleet turnover, potentially improving depreciation metrics and reducing capital expenditures for both companies.
Hertz and Avis, with their established networks and fleet management expertise, could see improved utilization rates and stronger pricing power. 
As consumers and businesses reconsider vehicle ownership in a high-cost environment, rental car companies may emerge as unexpected winners from the new tariff policy.

Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Hertz shares are trading higher by 19.6% to $4.12 Thursday afternoon.</li>
<li>Avis Budget Group shares are trading higher by 19.3% to $73.42 Thursday afternoon.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy HTZ Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Hertz&#8217;s case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, HTZ has a 52-week high of $8.20 and a 52-week low of $2.47.
