Deep dives
WeWork to file for Chapter 11
WeWork is reportedly planning to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to significant debt owed to SoftBank Vision Fund. With $10 billion in lease obligations starting next year and an additional $15 billion in 2028, WeWork is struggling to restructure its lease agreements amidst a challenging real estate market. Although the company made $840 million in revenue last quarter, it has burned through $8 billion in free cash flow and faces significant financial hurdles. However, there is potential for a private equity player to acquire WeWork out of bankruptcy and renegotiate lease agreements for profitable locations, making use of the substantial TI (tenant improvement) capital already invested in these spaces.
