The
company, which is a favorite among retail traders, did not
reveal the size of the potential stock offering, which would be
its first since 2014.
"The business is in real trouble and the fact that they are
going to issue and sell stock without actually giving an amount
of stock, that's pretty catastrophic," said Jim Dixon, equity
sales trader at Mirabaud.
"They are running out of cash and desperately need to raise cash
just to keep the business going."
The retailer had a long-term debt of $1.38 billion and only
$107.5 million in cash as of the end of May.
Later in the day, the company is expected to disclose a roughly
$375 million loan when it provides an update on its turnaround
plans.
Its shares have gained more than 13% in the last two sessions
following a roller-coaster ride triggered by billionaire Ryan
Cohen's sale of his 9.8% stake.
