Why Is Avis Budget (CAR) Stock in the Spotlight Today? (Investorplace.com)

Avis Budget Group just reported positive 2022 Q1 earnings. Here's why that doesn't mean CAR stock is a buy right now.

But even two back-to-back earnings beats haven’t been enough to get Wall Street excited about the stock. However, it is early in the day and the stock already looks poised to dip again. All this raises the question of why a stock would fall after such good news. Within the first hour, CAR has changed direction again and is currently up 1.64% for the morning. Despite the positive earnings report, today hasn’t been a straight shot to the top. CAR stock shot up today after Avis reported higher-than-expected earnings and revenue.
