Goldman Sachs analyst David Tamberrino upgraded Group 1 Automotive (GPI) to Neutral citing the positive impact from Hurricane Harvey. The analyst sees positive impacts on the broader auto ecosystem as flood-damaged vehicles exit the system, particularly for auto dealerships with significant Houston exposure like Group 1. Tamberrino raised his price target for the shares to $67 from $56. The analyst also upgraded his view on the Rental Car sector to Neutral from Cautious. He raised his price target for Avis Budget (CAR) to $37 from $27 and for Hertz (HTZ) to $17 from $11. Tamberrino keeps a Neutral rating on Avis and Sell rating on Hertz.
