Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ: CAR) price target of $20.00.

Analyst, Brian A. Johnson, said, "Last week we hosted a series of investor meetings with Avis senior management. The time spent with management made us incrementally positive around issues surrounding fleet costs, pricing, European macro issues, balance sheet/cash management, and company transparency. While we gained modestly greater appreciation around some of the "more discussed" topics, we continue to lack some visibility regarding the mid-term, normalized fleet cost and pricing environments."

However, Johnson said that the stock has been down over 10% since Investor Day and that dip may offer a near-term entry point.
