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...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう この長文記事をRay Dalioが発表し、ゴールドは$1400から$1420へと急騰しました。GLD保持高に変化はないのでたぶん先物ポジションが進んでいます。 Ray Dalio Warns A "New Paradigm" Is Coming: "Buy Gold, Sell Stocks" by Tyler Durden Wed, 07/17/2019 - 14:44 Authored by Ray Dalio via LinkedIn, One of my investment principles is: 私の投資原則はこういうものだ: Identify the paradigm you’re in, examine if and how it is unsustainable, and visualize how the paradigm shift will transpire when that which is unsustainable stops. 現在のパラダイムを認識し、それがどの程度持続可能かどうか判断する、そしてパラダイムシフトがどのように起きるか、そしてその着地点を思い描く。 Over my roughly 50 years of being a global macro investor, I have observed there to be relatively long of periods (about 10 years) in which the markets and market relationships operate in a certain way (which I call “paradig...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか? Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US. よく言われるM2(米国のマネーサプライ指標)とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。 "There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. " 「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」 Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関? The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
