What happens to your Hertz stock when the company goes bankrupt?
Those who own common Hertz shares in their current form get what’s left after those two developments (which will very likely be nothing), and they will be wiped out as the company shifts to its new shares.

Why are traders betting on Hertz stock?

Who is the new owner of Hertz?
Hertz was provided $5.9 billion in new equity capital by the company’s new investor group, led by Knighthead Capital Management and Certares Opportunities. The two investment firms agreed in March to buy Hertz and take it out of bankruptcy.
How much debt does Hertz have?
For Hertz, the issue is that the company has a $19 billion pile of debt, and the vast majority of that debt — about $15 billion — is in secured assets tied to the financing of its large vehicle fleet.
Should you buy Hertz shares right now?
Yes, Hertz shares are soaring as life is breathed into the transportation sector, but for investors buying Hertz shares right now, it’s hardly different from playing roulette at the casino, and that’s not a healthy long-term investing mindset. Hertz shares in their current form are almost certainly going to end up worthless.
