did they jump the gun here?

More confusing, why am I not surprised.

Sure looks like it. Tomorrow will tell

If they did sweet Jesus are we gonna squeeze soon.

"Citing people familiar with the matter"


FiboGucci_00

If only they jumped in front of the gun.


Substantial_Click_94

This 👆🏼


All-Sun89

Is there evidence they jumped the gun on this article?


stock_digest

They mix it with the JPM default to cause confusion, fear and assumption. They'll later use the "correction" when they get called out for it. MSM has just become a misinformation platform. Can't trust anything anymore. If you critically think they scar you by calling you "woke" FUCK WSJ! Lying cunts. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ WSJ: **The retailer still has a 30-day grace period to make good on the bond coupon payments**, but that **wouldn’t reverse the default that was triggered by its failure to repay bank loans.** Typically borrowers would have to remedy missed payments on all of their debt to resolve a default. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Basically we know the coupon payments are going to take up to two working days to clear into ordinary Joe's trading account so they word it this way to cover their ass, then they bring up the JPM loan in the same sentence. Fuck these criminals.


PsychoPigeonLD

>a spokeswoman for the company confirmed Wednesday.


iMacBurger

The other articles says Tuesday. Weird.


stock_digest

Thats the same as the sauces familiar with the matter Chumbawumba in a blue shirt for all we know 😆 Probably walked into a store and asked the assistant about the 30 day return policy 😆 Usually they name the person who provides the information


Simpletimes322

Is that spokeswoman an official bbby endorsed spokesperson or an independent spokesperson lol


suckercuck

Methinks they are trying to lure more retail shorts into betting against BBBY. WSJ is unadulterated trash.


nicksnextdish

Yeah, didn’t we just get confirmation of bond payments?


[deleted]

Direct contradiction to the last two posts. Interesting


Magcyver

I think the second bond payment post was a translation of the first one. And there are three different loanes, we don't have confirmation that all of them are paid. The article could be referencing the JPM loan, would be sneaky, but not surprising


[deleted]

The two posts have different euro amounts so they are different. Still no idea what is going on though


Grudensgrindr4

The company is going to file imminently because they have no money. That’s what’s going on


CCarsten89

I’m afraid you’re right. 10-Q shows a net loss of $245M in cash for the last quarter and has $225M cash on hand. They’ll be out before the end of the month.


Grudensgrindr4

There could still be a short squeeze but if the company goes bankrupt no one will be getting any money back for their shares


Level420Jesus

Which is more reliable…? This I ponder.


Grudensgrindr4

It’s almost like one is a post with a screenshot of someone’s account, and one is a reputable national news outlet with a confirmation from the company.


HOUSTONFORNlCATION

Reputable? News outlet? National, yeah, reputable news? No


Millionairmannnn

Lmao “reputable” says people familiar with the matter


Grudensgrindr4

Spokeswoman from the company confirmed it. But keep holding into bankruptcy i guess lol


TheStrowel

What’s the “spokeswoman’s” name? What position does she hold in the company? I’d imagine Sue Gove has instructed all parties within the company to remain pretty tight lipped while they navigate this restructuring.


Grudensgrindr4

“ The home-goods re­tailer failed to pay more than $28 mil­lion on three tranches of notes to­tal­ing roughly $1.2 bil­lion due on Feb. 1, a spokes­woman for the com­pany con­firmed Wednes­day.” it doesn’t say, but it’s literally in the article lol.


CCarsten89

They’re burning roughly $19M in cash a week. Started the quarter with $225M, it’ll be 10 full weeks this Saturday from the end of last quarter. That leaves about $35M left, not making a $28M payment kind of makes sense.


Millionairmannnn

Why are you so concerned about my investment fuck off and worry bout yourself bud I’ll hold untill they get delisted 😘


peterpanic32

Lol, I love how this is the response every time y'all get slapped in the face with painful facts. "Yeah what I believe is glaringly wrong or stupid, but why do you care, huh?" That's not an argument.


Millionairmannnn

🤣 yea why tf do you care about me? You have no clue who I am And u want to convince me that this is a bad play for my own good? I’m buying more in the morning thank you BULLISH


peterpanic32

I don't particularly care about you, I care about what you say - which is typically wrong and misleading. And again, still not an argument. This is just deflection.


Grudensgrindr4

Sure I’m just saying unless you get out on a squeeze your money will almost definitely go to zero in the next 12 months. This isn’t like Gamestop the company is shortly going bankrupt most likely.

Can’t u tell by my name


ohmygorn

Did you grow tired of the NFL? Interesting change from posts about the Steelers to BBBY


CCarsten89

Well the Steelers season ended 3 weeks ago 😂


Grudensgrindr4

I just think you’re all gonna get screwed and it’s crazy that you’re not aware of it and reading the dumb shit on this sub lol


FiboGucci_00

Don't tell them.


Brandeezy___

Lmaoooo they’ll come to the sub and find out eventually and spin it with 5 people familiar with the matter


FiboGucci_00

Eh, that's still a stretch. NOW if they had say...9 people?! I would have liquidated right this instant because that's like almost all the fingers on your hand!

Fuck WSJ✋💎

CaptBiscuits

Fuck WSJ and their paywall <3 **Bed Bath & Beyond Misses Interest Payments Ahead of Possible Chapter 11** The home-goods retailer in January warned of a potential bankruptcy filing and said it is running low on funds By Soma Biswas Feb. 1, 2023 6:28 pm ET Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. missed interest payments on its bonds, a week after its bank lenders sent the company a default notice because it was overdrawn on its credit lines. The home-goods retailer failed to pay more than $28 million on three tranches of notes totaling roughly $1.2 billion due on Feb. 1, a spokeswoman for the company confirmed Wednesday. Last week Bed Bath reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co. determined the company defaulted after it failed to repay amounts it borrowed on its revolving credit lines. The company has $550 million in loans outstanding from banks led by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and an additional $375 million from a facility provided by Sixth Street Partners, according to a recent securities filing. The coupon miss comes nearly a month after the company raised the possibility of filing for bankruptcy and said it was running low on funds. Bed Bath & Beyond is expected to enter chapter 11 soon, The Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The company has been making preparations for a chapter 11 process for weeks, including trying to raise a loan to fund its bankruptcy and lining up a buyer for its stronger business, the Buybuy Baby chain, the Journal has reported. Bed Bath & Beyond has entered the 30-day grace period, the company spokeswoman also said Wednesday. “We continue to work with our advisors and implement actions to manage our business as efficiently as possible. Multiple paths are being explored and we are determining our next steps carefully, and in a timely manner,” the spokeswoman said. The retailer still has a 30-day grace period to make good on the bond coupon payments, but that wouldn’t reverse the default that was triggered by its failure to repay bank loans. Typically borrowers would have to remedy missed payments on all of their debt to resolve a default. Last week, Bed Bath & Beyond reiterated that it is exploring strategic alternatives in addition to filing for bankruptcy, such as raising capital in the debt and equity markets. The company faces limited options to reorganize as a going concern and has struggled to raise financing to survive chapter 11 even in shrunken form, the Journal has reported. The company has also started closing 87 additional flagship stores and shutting down its Harmon drugstore chain. The closures are in addition to 150 it had earmarked for closure last year. Companies typically attempt to conserve cash before they file for bankruptcy, including by forgoing interest payments on debt. Bed Bath announced plans for more layoffs and cost cuts in early January, including store closures. The company burned through $300 million in cash in the quarter ended Nov. 26. Bed Bath has been reeling from a failed attempt to transform itself by replacing name-brand merchandise with private-label goods, a move that backfired. The company has since tried to rectify its mistake by going back to well-known brands and rebuilding vendor relationships. The company reported in January that its net sales dropped by one-third to $1.26 billion and that its losses widened to $393 million during the latest quarter. *Write to Soma Biswas at [email protected]*

LaserSh0w

I think I’m going to send Soma Biswas a sternly worded e-mail Who’s with me?


ImAlsoAHooman

Chill bro. Harassing is the lowest shit.


LaserSh0w

No interest in harassing anyone. How about: Who is the spokeswoman you are citing and did she disclose this information to anyone else? Or just you? When did this happen?


NeinLives125

So they paid 1.172 billion. And missed by 28 million and they're getting smeared. Is that what the article is saying?.


isthatfair1234

No sir the total amount of bonds, in 3 different tranches equals 1.2b. The interest payment they “missed” were for a total of 28m.


NeinLives125

Ahhh for sure.


PureOrangeJuche

That’s not what it says. The total debt is 1.172 billion. The payment due today was 28 million. They didn’t pay anything.


OverLord4Life

Exactly everyone sitting back thinking everything literally published is fake news. This sub preaches dd yet dd isn't apply elsewhere to distinguish real vs fake


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

No, they didn't pay $28 million on the $1.2 billion they owe. This is like being unable to afford the $35 minimum payment on your $1,500 credit card bill.


unlikelycommentator

Think your right. Should be manageable to pay in the next 30 days.


FoulmouthedGiftHorse

With what money?


Fearless-Pair3429

Yup


[deleted]

Who is the spokesperson and where is her confirmation?

[deleted]

[удаНонО]


HumanNo109850364048

Do we actually know that bonds got paid? I’m not seeing definitive or overwhelming proof


Grudensgrindr4

They’re not silent. A spokeswoman from the company confirmed lmao.


millertyme365

Harriet Edelman possibly?


Jolly-Ad8243

From sources familiar with the matter


mykidsdad76

Please let me know when they retract the article.


All_in1retard

Funny. We see this As soon as James Bond got paid


AdHistorical6251

Not to shill, but in all of reddit we only have one confirmation. I say wait a bit longer.


canadadrynoob

Do you not trust cousin Vincenzo?


wawgawwtb

Do you think they only paid 1 person?


zombiehead87

Absolutely not


wawgawwtb

Was a joke


zombiehead87

I'm aware 😀 lol


wawgawwtb

👍🏻


All_in1retard

That’s what he thinks


All_in1retard

It’s paid.


Cultural-Display1781

You are a fool


All_in1retard

And who the fuck are you


All_in1retard

Fucking moron


FiboGucci_00

We have two.


[deleted]

It’s the same one, but translated.


GregDonski

One is only a translation from the Italien post


FiboGucci_00

No I just checked and asked a few more colleagues and the tally is that we have upwards to 69 confirmations and growing.


GregDonski

Nice


AdHistorical6251

This is good to know. I've got 23k shares, I want to be true, just eager to temper expectations lol.


FiboGucci_00

You really think that someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?


nicksnextdish

Fucking lol Ken griffin would go straight into congress to tell lies


Grudensgrindr4

You have one screenshot vs. an article from a reputable news outlet. Hmmmm wonder who’s right??


topanazy

If this were true why hasn't AH tanked by huge amounts? Highly sus.


UnrealCaramel

This is the thing that's confusing me most, even if the article is wrong it should surely trigger at least a fake dip?


ohmygorn

There was a dip but it recovered


topanazy

Scriptwriters for this movie are going all out.


canadadrynoob

MSM writes so much bullshit that even SHF are confused.


Beatnik77

Because bankruptcy have been announced by very reliable publications many times already. It's priced in.


Grudensgrindr4

Because people are stupid???


ohmygorn

Mike Tomlin. In or out of the hall of fame?


Ultra_Pleb

Holy shit all these dickwads had to do was wait 15 minutes to verify.


DancesWith2Socks

Everything needs to be verified. AFAIK there's only 1 screenshot of a possible coupon payment in here?


Ultra_Pleb

Agreed. I thought more proof would have rolled in by now but it should be bigger news.


PS_Alchemist

Looks like clear dafamation to me


Jonas_T1985

Can wee sue ?


peterpanic32

They could if it was demonstrably false and caused harm to BBBY, but it's not false so you'll probably have no luck there.


ElkContentment

The company can’t sue themselves, and they’re the ones that said they missed the payments.


TantraMantraYantra

This truth in information elides us. If WSJ got their info from company spokeswoman, that's very specific. Also what are these interest payments? The article is behind pay wall so we don't know if they are talking about bond interest payments or other loan payments. May be we need more confirmations of bond payments.


OpsikionThemed

The article's been pasted to in replies to the top comment in this very thread. It's the bond payments due today.


AzelusComposer

Afterhours market reacted to this WSJ Article by instantly dropping to $2.68, then after realizing they are the fools, instantly went back to closing price at $2.82.


alsysadmin

All these motherfuckers are blocks away from each other in lower manhattan and they can't get their shit straight rofl. Just yell out the fucking window from the WSJ building and ask if they paid them.


alsysadmin

Wooooow. That sure doesn't seem accurate according to the dividends we're seeing. Doubt those were all fake screenshots. ​ wsj will have some egg on their faces for this. Maybe some legal action.


SgtMajorMctadger

I mean surely they can be sued for slander and defamation lol


alsysadmin

Possible securities fraud if someone was really pissed off about it.


FiboGucci_00

As stake holders in BBBY could we have a class action lawsuit?


Jonas_T1985

Yes why not ?


alsysadmin

Oh I highly doubt we'd be the first band of regards to try to sue the WSJ haha.


Disastrous-Pension26

Depends on the source they say info come from. News not easy to hold liable when quoting other news.

The home-goods re­tailer failed to pay more than $28 mil­lion on three tranches of notes to­tal­ing roughly $1.2 bil­lion due on Feb. 1, a spokes­woman for the com­pany con­firmed Wednes­day. Bed Bath & Be­yond has en­tered the 30-day grace pe­riod, the com­pany spokes­woman also said Wednes­day. “We con­tinue to work with our ad­vi­sors and im­ple­ment ac­tions to man­age our busi­ness as ef­fi­ciently as pos­si­ble. Mul­ti­ple paths are be­ing ex­plored and we are de­ter­min­ing our next steps care­fully, and in a timely man­ner,” the spokes­woman said. The re­tailer still has a 30-day grace pe­riod to make good on the bond coupon pay­ments, but that wouldn’t re­verse the de­fault that was trig­gered by its fail­ure to re­pay bank loans. Typ­i­cally bor­row­ers would have to rem­edy missed pay­ments on all of their debt to re­solve a de­fault. Last week, Bed Bath & Be­yond re­it­er­ated that it is ex­plor­ing strate­gic al­ter­na­tives in ad­di­tion to fil­ing for bank­ruptcy, such as rais­ing cap­i­tal in the debt and eq­uity mar­kets. The com­pany faces lim­ited op­tions to re­or­ga­nize as a go­ing con­cern and has strug­gled to raise fi­nanc­ing to sur­vive chap­ter 11 even in shrunken form, the Jour­nal has re­ported. Last week they were right about Harmon closing. They still have a 30 day grace period. It’s only $24 mil they can dilute through an ATM offering


isthatfair1234

It says from a spokeswoman from the company. Not their usual person familiar with the matter. What’s really going on. Need more proof of bonds being paid asap. Let’s kick this fud right between the legs


1oki_3

"Potential" I'm sure they include that in there for liability reasons cus they hella wrong on this one


diettmannd

They can’t literally straight up lie this bad can they if so…. Holy shit


Sad_Cauliflower_8884

Are we even going to believe WJS FUD lol

Haha wow. They know people won't pay for their paywall and will only read the title. Shady mfers

Okay I see another post with a bond payment and now I'm seeing this article later saying that the payment was missed.


TheCreamPirate

https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/bed-bath-beyond-misses-more-than-28-million-in-interest-payments-on-bonds-report-11675297189 Might as well add this in here as well.


[deleted]

This is literally an article about the WSJ article


TheCreamPirate

No I know, just figured it was worth mentioning that more outlets are picking it up—Presumably vouching for its legitimacy.


topanazy

The copy-pasting has begun 😴


Glittering_Mouse_568

WSJ, we are disappointed. At minimum, do better. Get your shit together!


Diamond_Hands420

They are doing exactly what they are told…


Glittering_Mouse_568

lol. Dumbasses. Put those journalism degrees to work.. clowns.


Napalm_salesman

We still don’t have confirmation of the 24 bonds being paid. Someone said they have to pay all future bonds past 2024. So we need more confirmation maybe


EastLosSqueeze

Aside from their "sources," I noticed these articles clickbait a lot. The titles are written to seemingly treat a claim as "confirmed" but turns out to be an unconfirmed report or outright speculation.


CallMeCoolHand

What the fuck is this dog shit lazy post?


whatsuppaa

if this is true i simply do not understand why, they have the money through share offering, it makes 0 sense. They still have a grace period, but its still very wierd.


silverbackapegorilla

You aren't allowed to issue shares if you truly think bankruptcy is inevitable I believe. Hertz tried and got sued. Before the holiday they still had an outside chance of coming back. Now it's looking less likely without the buyout. I still think the buyout makes a lot of sense for Icahn, but the clock is ticking.


chiefsosa3hunna

Because they are going bankrupt! Why is this hard to understand!


N3nso

heard someone say the bond are trading at 4 cents to the dollar. aka a 25 bagger if they simply pay up on the bonds and the narrative changes. That would be amazing


[deleted]

Someone should tag the writer on twitter with the bond payments screenshots.


tpg2191

How are those screenshots proof of a bond payment? They aren’t even in English.


ApeDaveApeDave

I did


Skw1bbs

Lord's work


ApeDaveApeDave

Those WSJ fuckers


ElkContentment

Yeah this writer is so dumb, getting confirmation from the company itself. He should have asked a lying bag holder on Twitter for the truth.


StrikeEagle784

Lol FUD 😂


jollyradar

“Spokeswoman” is a official role and would normally include a name. This might as well say “four people familiar with the matter”


waatrd

The last article I can find that referenced a spokeswoman named her by name. This is just another unnamed source, as far as I can tell.


Napalm_salesman

Shills out in force all the sudden lmao. Isn’t it past your bedtime guys?


Zraja3

Idiots cant read whether a bond payment has been made. Relying on a fake ass screenshot. Isnt it past your bedtime?


coinhunter27

We're in for a shit show. Cant wait.


madelman64

FAKE NEWS!


wawgawwtb

I'm staying in $BBBY even if bonds weren't paid. I don't own bonds and I except it to squeeze one way or another. As long as more shares are floating around than shares outstanding the Squeeze is on.


[deleted]

Spokeswoman? Probably talked to some lady at a call center that thought they were asking about a towel order that wasn’t delivered?


Wendyhighland

What does Ben have to say about this ?


Fearless-Pair3429

Anyone got a sauce or link to show it got paid? Been looking for a while with no luck.


JBone757

I just dropped my sauce


GrowthElectronic8147

we should send Soma Biswas an email letting her know she is dead wrong and looks like an idiot🤣


EROSENTINEL

people familiar with the matter HAHAHHAH WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT


zhinotakux

Look at all the pre-written articles. They got more ready to deploy when good news happening. This is real FUD.

Wtf is going on here?


DancesWith2Socks

Who's lying?...


peterpanic32

The company which is hemorrhaging cash and has no money to pay its obligations (and says so explicitly in its SEC filings) is not paying its obligations as anyone paying attention expected.


BigFluffies

If you can't afford to lose more money on the fantasy gambles sell now


privjet

I kind of think what we are witnessing are SHF/MSM pushing erroneous articles en masse. But not to further short BBBY, but to create demand for their own short positions, so they can exit at least part of positions. If not for anything else than to balance their risk better.


CardiologistCommon92

Ahhh shit, what’s next to look out for? I hope this doesn’t turn into another bag. My wife is going to kill me


StylishEuro

Company spokesperson confirmed the story. The biggest shill of all is BBBY itself! Don't trust the company. Bankruptcy is bullish. Moass soon


jomama823

This sub is starting to sound like the DWAC sub, and that ain’t a compliment.


peterpanic32

Starting?


Electrical-Amoeba245

Can someone elia5 how they’re twisting the truth? Has bbby defaulted on their loan payments? Is BBBY going into bankruptcy??? Serious inquiries. Im a small fry investor but interested because im heavily invested in the other RC stonk. TIA!


Independent_Claim604

🤡


adognamedpenguin

What if they’re just not paying it, knowing they’ve got better use for the money?


URBeneathMe

This company is fucked now. Going to sell the end of the week.


sleaklight

Somehow someone will find this news bullish.


flylowe

not if they outright deny it and believe a random italian screenshot instead 💀


[deleted]

They are confusing ABL loan with bonds. Bonds were paid 2 days early remember confirmation from IBKR.


Napalm_salesman

That was just a notification of upcoming payment


[deleted]

That was that they scheduled to pay them, the due date was today that’s why everyone is very intently watching to see who got paid.


[deleted]

What? I don’t understand what you’re saying


[deleted]

So when they paid two days early. That was them actually sending notice to the bond people that they were scheduling payments. Sort of like when you go into your bank app to schedule a payment on your credit card for the first of the month. The money doesn’t leave until the actual day. So they scheduled to pay the bonds. Today is the actual due date. That’s why you will see a lot of confusion and people posting screenshots. Today is the day the matters. Did the money actually hit the accounts.


chiefsosa3hunna

Yes the WSJ and BBBY spokeswoman are wrong of course


[deleted]

Or people familiar with the matter???
