I disagree with your certainty, Saku. That's best left to results in
papers, as you correctly point out.

Hertz car rental has the #1 product in its industry, even its major

yet it stock price skyrocketed.


I agree with the sentiment that stock value cannot be used to glean
~anything, certainly not something specific like 'marketability of
product'. I'd be interested in reading paper where stock value is
determined to be more reliable than random metric on anything except stock
value.

However Hertz depreciation is caused by the anticipation that debtors will
receive almost all of the equity, diluting the current owners by massive
ratio. The value tries to reflect post-dilution value. My Stetson-Harrision
analysis tells that current owners will end up owning less than 20% of
Hertz and more than 80% goes to debtors.
So by that logic, 80% of Hertz value is currently not trading.
