For discussions about Corona cases please use the official thread here:
"The ailing department store chain Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof is facing a clear-out. 80 of the approximately 170 stores of the group are to be closed. According to insiders, this is what the draft of the restructuring plan says. In addition, up to ten percent of jobs in the remaining stores are to be cut. It is a gloomy scenario for the company's approximately 28,000 employees, many of whom will now lose their jobs."
Hi @Big Mike
Thanks - and yes - I was thinking about before opening the thread.
My intention is just to form a LIST of occurences that is some guideline for own trading.
Thus to have a journal of disaster around the globe.
Not intended to have the discussion in this thread but pointing to the Recession thread.
So it is neatly arranged.
(Reuters) today:
"Sales by US retailers slumped at a record pace in April due to the Corona crisis. They took 16.4% less than in the previous month, according to the Department of Commerce in Washington on Friday. There has not yet been a major decline since the statistics began in 1992. Economists surveyed by Reuters had only expected a minus of 12% after a sharp drop of 8.3% in March. Consumers spent less money on furniture, electronics and clothing in particular."
J.C. Penney
One of the largest chains of stores in the USA collapses under its debt burden because of the Corona crisis: J.C. Penney has filed for bankruptcy. Nevertheless, millions in bonuses are still being paid to the heads of the corporation.
After years of decline, the Corona crisis has brought the traditional US department store chain J.C. Penney to its knees. The 118-year-old company filed for insolvency. Now the company wants to close down stores and search for a buyer. Around 85,000 people work for the company - making it the largest corona victim in US retailing to date.
The second largest Australian airline Virgin Australia has filed for bankruptcy as a result of the Corona crisis. According to an announcement, the company wants to reposition itself financially and emerge stronger from the Covid 19 crisis. Previously, the airline had not managed to get state aid amounting to 1.4 billion Australian dollars (815 million euros). According to Virgin, it is about 16,000 jobs. The company, which owns 130 aircraft, has billions in debt.
The airline is owned by Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways and the Chinese companies HNA and Hanshan. The Virgin group of the British entrepreneur Richard Branson holds 10 percent.
the mass-market clothing company whose preppy-with-a-twist products were worn by Michelle Obama and appeared at New York Fashion Week, filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. It is the first major retailer to fall during the coronavirus pandemic, though other big industry names including Neiman Marcus and J.C. Penney are also struggling with the toll of mass shutdowns.
J. Crew was carrying a debt burden of $1.7 billion based on a leveraged buyout in 2011 by two private equity firms — TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners — even before the coronavirus brought clothing sales to a near-halt in its 181 stores, 140 Madewells and 170 outlets.
