We noted last
month that the company lost $690 million in the first six months of the
year and is expected to generate a loss from operations approaching $3
billion as it burns through tens of millions in cash daily. Analyst
estimate that the company could run out of money by mid-2020.
And now Bloomberg is reporting that WeWork's cash crunch is even more acute:
今日のブルームバーグの報告によるとWeWorkの資金枯渇はもっと差し迫るという:
Analysts had previously estimated that the company would run out of money by the middle of next year.
WeWork had been counting on an initial public offering -- and a $6
billion loan contingent on a successful IPO -- to meet its cash needs,
but that plan unraveled amid questions about its future profitability...
...it needs new financing before the end of November to avoid running out of money, two people familiar with the matter said.
・・・資金枯渇を回避するには11月末までに新たな資金提供元が必要だ、二人の情報通が言う。
FT sources are now indicating that a potential lifeline, otherwise known as a bailout, could be imminent. FTの情報源は現在潜在的な救済元だ、ほかでもない緊急援助、これが差し迫っている。
The bailout of WeWork could be led by JPMorgan Chase and other Wall
Street banks. If no cash infusion by late November, WeWork could enter
into bankruptcy in 1H20, or by next summer.
Global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings downgraded WeWork's credit
rating last week by two notches to "CCC+," putting the SoftBank funded
office-sharing company very deep into junk territory.
"In the absence of an IPO and associated senior secured debt
raise, WeWork does not have sufficient funding to meet its growth plan," Fitch wrote in a note.
Last month's decision to abandon the IPO deprived the company of $3
to $4 billion in funding and $6 billion in a loan package investment
banks promised if it went public.
Since the IPO was pulled and valuations collapsed, WeWork's WE 7.875 01-MAY-2025 junk
bond was last trading at about 82 cents on the dollar (as of Friday 6
am est., according to Tradeweb data, a massive discount to face value,
which indicates doubts the company can repay its debts.
IPOがなくなり、格付けも崩壊し、WoWorkの WE 7.875 01-MAY-2025ジャンクボンドは直近で82セントで売買されている、額面1ドル(東部時間金曜6am、Tradewebのデータだ、額面から大幅に値引きされている、ということは当社が債務を返済できないだろうと見られている。
Without new cash, WeWork is unsustainable; the company could start
liquidating its CRE exposure as it begins the inevitable pre-bankruptcy
shrinking process -- if no cash infusion next month.
"WeWork has raised more than $12 billion to rent office space that it
renovates and then leases to companies. But that strategy has left it
in a precarious position. It has some $47 billion of future rent payments due. On
average it leases its buildings for 15 years. Yet its tenants are
committed to paying only $4 billion, and on average have leases for 15
months."
「WeWorkは$12B以上の資金を投じてオフィススペース改装を行い企業に貸し出す。しかし その戦略は心もとないものだ。将来の賃貸料収入は$47B程度だ。平均してビルを15年貸し出す。しかしながら、テナントが約束する支払いはわずか$4Bだ、そして平均貸し出しは15ヶ月に過ぎない。
With the equity market window shut, and credit markets starting to crack, something that we noted on Thursday, the next question is if WeWork gets a bailout next month.
If not, the WeWork implosion of 2020 could be a spectacular mess and a massive headache for SoftBank/Vision Fund and Wall Street banks - as the company crashes from $47 billion valuation to insolvent in 2 months...
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...

Given the recent price breakout and sentiment change, it's likely a good idea to re-visit this topic today. 数年前のことだが、私どもはCOMXの派生商品の需給に関する注目記事を書いた。最近の価格ブレークアウトと心理変化もあり、この話題を再度今取り上げるのが良かろう。 The post from 2017 dealt with Comex silver and the original link is below.

With these revisions, employment gains in January and February combined were 14,000 more than previously reported. After revisions, job gains have averaged 180,000 per month over the last 3 months. 「1月全非農業雇用は+311,000から+312,000に改定された、2月のデータは+20,000から+33,000に改定された。これらの改定で1月と2月を合算した雇用増は以前の報告よりも14,000多くなった。改定後でみると、雇用増は直近三ヶ月で平均180,000/月となる。 BLS Jobs Statistics at a Glance BLS 雇用統計概観 Nonfarm Payroll : +196,000 – Establishment Survey Emp...
