A class action lawsuit has been filed against Avis Budget Group alleging market manipulation by Pentwater Capital Management and its founder, who held about 51% of Avis shares. The complaint claims Pentwater's aggressive stock buying caused unusual volatility and a short squeeze, inflating the stock price and increasing the value of their holdings. Investors who bought Avis securities between February 2025 and April 2026 are invited to join the case. The law firm Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP is leading the litigation, known for securing large recoveries in securities cases.
