Bed, Bath, & Beyond To File For Bankruptcy 'Within Weeks'
2023-01-06
[ZERO] Bed Bath & Beyond shareholders' day just went from worst to worsterer...

After the stock closed down 30% today (following the company saying it was running low on funds and considering several options), The Wall Street Journal is reporting that, according to people familiar with the matter, BBBY is preparing to file for bankruptcy within weeks after the home-goods retailer said that sales for its third quarter, which ended in November, are expected to fall by nearly a third and that losses are expected to widen nearly 40% to $385.8 million.

BBBY shares are trading at their lowest level in 30 years...

#7  Menards.com.

It appears they may have a kiosk "thingie" going with As Seen on TV.

You can get yourself some MyPillow products there along with your roll-pins and Old Mill munchie stompers!

#6  Well, if you could still find a mall, there was actually a chain of As Seen On TV stores. Now you can buy online.

#4  Hey, the Corp officers got their feels and affirmation which was the whole point. Damn shame for those employees though.

#3  Keep an eye on Helen of Troy (HELE) as well. If it's still trading above $100/share by the end of February, I'll be surprised.

Granted, in this economy, the consumer discretionary sector is going to take some hits, but if they are highly leveraged on cheap money, then imagine if they need more money with rising interest rates.

Zero sympathy for BBBY.

The wife and my credit card have enjoyed the drastic price cuts at BBB. She picked up a bunch of stuff at 50 to 75% off. Which in a way kinda indicates the ridiculous markup at these stores

Also noted in 2017-2019 how it halted sales of several Conservative Brand related products (eg. My Pillow)

Is Kohl’s, next?
52-wk high $64.+/-
Closed at $26. +/- yesterday
for a loss of about -59.44%

It seems playing political & social games is a business revenue killer.
