Stock Track
Feb 17

Herc Holdings Inc. (HRI) experienced a sharp pre-market decline of 5.00% on Tuesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter financial results.

The equipment rental company reported Q4 revenue of $1.21 billion, which fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of $1.25 billion. While adjusted earnings per share of $2.07 beat expectations of $1.90, it represented a significant decline from $3.58 per share in the same quarter last year.

Further pressure came from a reported 100% increase in quarterly interest expense to $134 million. The combination of a revenue miss, a year-over-year drop in adjusted earnings, and a substantial rise in financing costs appears to have driven the negative investor sentiment in the pre-market session.
