From $40 billion to 'going concern' — WeWork warns of possible bankruptcy

Publishing timestamp: 2023-08-08 18:57:29


Summary

WeWork, once valued at $40 billion, is now warning of possible bankruptcy due to weak membership and financial struggles exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's stock price has been trading below $1, and it has significant debt. WeWork is considering various strategic alternatives, including restructuring or refinancing its debt, seeking additional capital, reducing business activities, or selling assets. The company's revenue has been declining, and even its major investor, SoftBank, is spending less on WeWork. WeWork's ability to continue as a going concern depends on limiting expenses, increasing revenue, and securing capital.
