The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleges that Avis and specific executives failed to disclose material information, violating federal securities laws. Central to the case is the claim that Pentwater Capital Management engaged in aggressive stock purchases that fueled an artificial surge in Avis shares. The stock climbed from an opening price of $147.52 on April 1, 2026, to an intraday peak of $765.94 by April 21—a 419% increase—before cratering 74.51% to close at $182.005 just one week later.
