The stock has now doubled in two days.

Hertz Global Holding Inc.'s stock has been gaining favor of late as investors bet that consumers would potentially pivot to buying more former rental-fleet cars in the face of higher prices for new cars due to tariffs.

Hertz's stock (HTZ) is logging its second straight day of double-digit gains with a 47% jump on Thursday.

The stock is now trading at $8.40 a share, more than double its closing level of $3.65 a share on Tuesday.
