Analysts publish price targets on CAR, and they disagree. Where the share price actually sits among them shows which of their arguments the market is buying — and which it is ignoring.
7 analyst price targets from $95 to $160
as of 2026-08-27
The market is within 3% of the median target — broadly agreeing with the analysts.
The reconstruction
The price at $139 sits at the 71st percentile of the published analyst models, closely matching the median target of $140 and fully endorsing the view that Avis is a viable going concern, while explicitly rejecting the 31-34% downside targets from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
What the disagreement turns on
Can Avis continue to dispose of fleet vehicles at stable residual values and roll its massive debt, or will a decline in used car prices turn the current negative free cash flow into a structural equity wipeout — and the available data cannot measure this because street and markdown pricing requires retail scraping that is not wired.
