The complaint alleges that Pentwater Capital Management, which held a 51% economic interest in Avis as of March 2026, orchestrated a scheme to inflate stock prices. By aggressively purchasing shares throughout the class period, defendants allegedly triggered a short squeeze that sent the company's valuation into extreme volatility. On April 21, 2026, Avis shares surged 419% to reach an intraday high of $765.94, up from an opening price of $147.52 just weeks earlier. This momentum proved unsustainable; by April 28, the stock price had collapsed by 74.51%, closing at $182.005.
Legal representatives at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC are currently reviewing claims for those who acquired Avis securities between February 20, 2025, and April 21, 2026. The lawsuit, Hakimian v. Pentwater Capital Management LP, et al., contends that executives failed to disclose material information regarding this market activity, violating federal securities laws.
