Hertz posted a bad miss Monday afternoon, and shares paid a price as a result. By the close yesterday, Hertz stock was down @14% after gaining a bit back from the initial shock--which saw the shares drop more than 20% in morning trading.

The company reported a first quarter 2017 net loss from continuing operations of $223 million, or $2.69 per diluted share, including $30 million of impairment charges, compared with net loss from continuing operations of $52 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2016. On an adjusted basis, the Company reported a net loss for the first quarter 2017 of $134 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted net loss of $67 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Total revenues for the first quarter 2017 were $1.9 billion, a 3% decline versus the first quarter 2016. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes for first quarter 2017 was $294 million versus $76 million in the same period last year. Adjusted Corporate EBITDA for the first quarter 2017 was a negative $110 million, compared to positive $27 million in the same period last year.

Company CEO Karen Marinello blamed some of the losses on bad inventory at Hertz, which she claimed was a result of an over optimistic view of the potential resale of those cars. In addition, Hertz has too many cars in its fleet and not enough trucks and SUVs, which are more popular for many of their customers. It is hard to sell the cars right now, because the market is flooded with vehicles coming off of leases that are also for sale.
