Investors in Clovis Oncology (NASDAQ:CLVS) stock will want to prepare for a bankruptcy filing following a warning from the pharmaceutical company.
According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company is expecting to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company says this will happen “in the very near term.”
That bankruptcy filing follows the company missing a payment date for interest on convertible senior notes due 2025. The initial missed date was on Nov. 1, 2022. The company had a 30-day grace period to make the payment by Dec. 1, 2022, but it elected to not make the payment due to its current liquidity situation.
CLVS Stock Is Already Falling

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
