Share Price and 1 Year Extreme Prices Breakdown

On June 9, 2017, car-rental company Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE:$HTZ) shares hit its 52-week low at $8.75. The company’s share is now priced at $8.90, a small and hopeful rise after the hitting such a low last week. The price, however, is a detrimental fall from the company’s 52 week high of $53.14, reached on July 27, 2016.
