Avis Budget Group reported Q2 2026 results on July 28, 2026. Earnings per share of $2.24 beat the $2.05 estimate by 9.50%, while revenue of about $3.0 billion came in 3.21% below the $3.1 billion consensus. EPS fell 17.0% from $2.70 in Q2 2025, with revenue at about the same level as a year earlier.

Results swing widely and have weakened. Annual EPS fell from $58.09 in 2022 to $43.09 in 2023, $23.22 in 2024 and $6.95 in 2025. The company posted losses in Q1 of 2024, 2025 and 2026, and in Q4 2025. The Q4 2025 loss of $4.60 per share compared with an estimated loss of $0.38. Q1 2026 brought the deepest loss in the table, at $6.31 per share, so the first half of 2026 totals a loss of $4.07 per share. The high was $21.70 in Q3 2022. Avis beat the EPS estimate in 16 of the last 20 quarters.

Q3 results came out between October 27 and November 1 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will show how far Q3 earnings offset the first-half loss.
