Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

Thursday September 29, 2022

The writing of Bed Bath and Beyond's drawn out demise has been on the wall and on wall street for a long time. Looks as though wall street predicts more bad news coming this Thursday............. see below

S&P now believes that Bed, Bath & Beyond’s ability to redeem the unsecured notes fully is “modest… in the event of a default.” The firm added that “we believe BBBY’s turn-around prospects remain very weak based on its ongoing cash burn, unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, and our view that its vendor relationships could be strained.

To all those still employed get out now while you have time to write your own futures and your mental health and attitudes are still strong.

The odd thing here is also the pattern. They spent all that money refurbishing the Orland store as the future of how the larger stores should look in the district. Then they closed the thing. Now they refurb all the rest of the stores only to close them. The leadership has no idea what they are doing here. For all those id--t posts about "do you have a business degree?" It never took one to know where this place was heading. Common sense told you that. Yeah, trust in MT, he knows what he is doing. /s. Who's next?

I cannot think of a single good leader from 2016-2020 when I worked here. It was all great plans and then forgetting the plans were ever made. "We'll be scaling back and look more like the Orland store with no topstock". Then the Orland store gets closed. "we'll be going for our own brands" and then their surplus of $1.1 billion turns to $108 million in a year? (making these brands, or what?) Numbers of closing stores have gotten revised constantly- another poster is more than right that Tritton wanted 200 gone and never reached that mark. What does this tell the average good investor as opposed to the quick buck meme person? The long term investor instead of the one who has never been in the store?

There is also some idea that BBBY will not be able to sort out secured from unsecured debt without actually filing bankruptcy. Just passing that along.
