CAR Deadline: CAR Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K Have Opportunity to Lead Avis Budget Group, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit Against Pentwater Capital Management LP

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR ), including those who bought Avis common stock to cover a short position, between February 20, 2025 and April 21, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important September 29, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 29, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. According to the lawsuit, defendants Pentwater Capital Management LP and Matthew Halbower (Pentwater's CEO, CIO and Founder) orchestrated a scheme to manipulate the market for Avis securities. Taking advantage of Pentwater's position as one of Avis's largest shareholders, holding a total economic interest of approximately 51% of Avis through stocks and cash-settled swaps as of March 2026, defendants' aggressive purchasing of Avis stock during the Class Period triggered unusual volatility and a short squeeze in the market for Avis securities – i.e., a rapid surge in Avis's stock price caused by short sellers buying back shares to cut their losses, thereby fueling further price spikes – all of which served to greatly increase the value of Pentwater's holdings of Avis stock.
