According to Slashdot, WeWork intends to file for bankruptcy as early as next week


Table of Contents

    WeWork plans to file for bankruptcy as early as next week, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the matter, as the SoftBank Group-backed company struggles with a massive debt pile and hefty losses. From the report: Shares of the flexible workspace provider fell 32% in extended trading after the Wall Street Journal first reported the news. They have fallen roughly 96% this year. [...] The company had net long-term debt of $2.9 billion as of June end and more than $13 billion in long-term leases, at a time when rising borrowing costs are hurting the commercial real estate sector. WeWork's filing for bankruptcy would mark a stunning reversal of fortune for the company that was privately valued at $47 billion in 2019 and a black spot for investor SoftBank that sunk billions.
