Avis Budget Group (CAR) Q4 2025 Earnings

No. Avis Budget Group reported Q4 2025 earnings of $-21.25 a share on Feb 18, 2026, missing the $-0.19 consensus estimate by 11,014.0%. Revenue was $2.7B against a $2.7B estimate.

Avis Budget Group delivered a deeply disappointing fourth quarter for fiscal 2025, with earnings collapsing far below expectations as a $518.00 million impairment charge tied to the accelerated rotation of its U.S. electric vehicle rental fleet drove a net loss of $856.00 million. The company posted an EPS of -$21.25, missing the consensus estimate of -$0.23 by a staggering 8946.40%, while revenue of $2.66 billion fell 2.96% short of the $2.75 billion estimate and declined 1.7% year-over-year. The EV write-down, connected to a strategic fleet restructuring and the Interpace Ventures transaction, proved the dominant story, overwhelming otherwise encouraging signals like an 18% decline in per-unit fleet costs and Adjusted EBITDA swinging to a positive $5.00 million from a loss of $101.00 million a year prior. Shares have shed roughly 21.8% since the February release, reflecting investor unease. CEO Brian Choi acknowledged the turbulence but pointed toward 2026, framing tighter fleet discipline and a projected Adjusted EBITDA of $800.00 million to $1.00 billion as evidence the repositioning is gaining traction.
