$TTCF Meatless And Cashless
Normally, bankruptcy is bad for stocks since it signals the end of the company’s operations, however, bankruptcy plays have been extremely popular lately with several stocks of companies declaring bankruptcy making impressive runs. One such company that may see a run in the near term is plant-based food producer Tattooed Chef, Inc (NASDAQ: TTCF) which is down nearly 50% since announcing its intention to file for bankruptcy. With the company yet to officially file for bankruptcy, TTCF stock may continue dropping until a delisting date is announced – following which the stock may witness a dead cat bounce.
TTCF Fundamentals
Filing For Bankruptcy
TTCF’s decision to file for Chapter 11 came after it determined that the $3.5 million it had on its balance sheet were not enough to meet its high quarterly cash burn rate as it burned $19.5 million on average each quarter in 2022. While TTCF reduced its operating expenses by almost 40% YoY, it still was not enough since it failed to raise capital. That said, TTCF is currently in the middle of finalizing the terms of its debtor agreement to fund its operations and meet existing customers’ demands during the bankruptcy process.
Dead Cat Bounce
While TTCF is yet to officially file for bankruptcy or start the delisting process from Nasdaq, TTCF stock may experience a dead cat bounce. Since bankruptcy plays are popular, TTCF stock may continue plummeting until a delisting date is set. However, the dead cat bounce could occur when the company nears its delisting date.
With this in mind, TTCF may experience a similar run to Bed Bath & Beyond (OTC: BBBYQ) and Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. (OTC: CYXTQ) following their Chapter 11 filing when both stocks ran 175% and 114% respectively. For this reason, TTCF stock could be an attractive opportunity for traders. However, it should be noted that the stock is extremely risky and could continue dropping to new all-time lows before a cat bounce could occur.
