Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock is falling on Tuesday after the retailer revealed plans to raise about $1 billion.
That plan from the company includes the sale of preferred stock as a way to increase funds. However, the company may have spooked investors with a warning in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.
That includes the following statement in its prospectus filing:
“Investing in the offered securities involves risks. You should carefully read and consider the information in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the risk factors described in any applicable prospectus supplement and/or in our periodic and other reports and other information that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission before investing in our securities.”
BBBY’s Plans for the Funds
Bed Bath & Beyond says it intends to use funds raised from the preferred stock offering for general corporate purposes. That may include the reduction of its debt. That’s not much of a surprise considering the company holds more than $1 billion in debt. It’s also at risk of defaulting on some of that money owed.
Shares of BBBY stock are falling 31.7% today as some 14 million shares change hands. The company’s daily average trading volume is about 43 million shares. Year-to-date, the stock is up 153.7%.
