An update from Avis Budget ( (CAR) ) is now available.

At its May 20, 2026 annual meeting, Avis Budget Group shareholders elected six director nominees to one-year terms ending in 2027, reaffirming the existing board leadership. Investors also ratified Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditor for fiscal 2026 and gave advisory approval to the compensation program for the company’s named executive officers, signaling broad support for current management and governance practices.

Shareholders, however, decisively rejected a governance-related shareholder proposal seeking to replace supermajority voting requirements in the charter and bylaws with simple majority standards and to allow brief adjournment of meetings if such changes failed to reach the existing 80% approval threshold. The outcome preserves Avis Budget Group’s higher voting hurdles for key corporate decisions, maintaining the board’s preferred governance framework despite minority investor pressure for enhanced shareholder rights.

The most recent analyst rating on (CAR) stock is a Hold with a $99.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Avis Budget stock, see the CAR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CAR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CAR is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial quality (recent losses) and elevated balance-sheet risk (negative equity/high leverage), reinforced by negative technical momentum. Positives from the earnings call—raised EBITDA guidance and improved liquidity/refinancing—provide partial offset but do not fully neutralize the core leverage and profitability risks.
