Frequently asked questions

What is Avis Budget Group Inc's revenue?

Avis Budget Group Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $11.75B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.

How profitable is CAR?

In its most recent fiscal year, CAR ran a gross margin of 24.42%, an operating margin of 10.99%, and a net margin of -7.63%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.

How much free cash flow does CAR generate?

CAR produced $-11.98B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.

Is CAR's balance sheet healthy?

CAR holds $519.00M in cash and equivalents against $25.24B in long-term debt, on $-3.13B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
