Hertz, to its credit, disclosed the risks to prospective stock shareholders quite openly. If it had been permitted to proceed with the sale, buyers could not have said they weren’t warned.

Yet Hertz is a strange standout among its unlisted penny stock peers. Its global brand — which includes Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty — has 12,000 locations around the world.

Hertz stock dropped significantly following that, as you’d expect. Without being listed on a major exchange, trading volume tends to dry up, which leads to a slumping share price.

The company, being insolvent, needs money, and a stock sale is a way to get some. Last week, the judge overseeing Hertz’s bankruptcy approved its plan to sell $500 million worth of stock.
