šŗ Wolfspeed: Bankruptcy, Earnings, and a 25% Rally?
New shares. Massive losses. A fab that costs $5B. We break down the week's wildest ticker.

š Market Vibes
Wolfspeed just did the impossible: posted a monster loss, wiped out shareholders, and still had the stock rip 25%. It's been all over the tape this week - so letās break it down.
šŗ Lone wolf syndrome
š„ Restructured & Deleveraged: Wolfspeed exited ChapterāÆ11 on SeptemberāÆ29, cutting its debt by nearly 70% and slashing annual cash interest costs by ~60%, giving it stronger liquidity moving forward.
š Shares Surge PostāExit: After restructuring, Wolfspeed shares jumped more than 25% as confidence revived around its path forward.
š§¾ New Equity Issued; Old Cancelled: As part of the restructuring, all legacy shares were canceled. Existing shareholders were issued new common stock under a 0.008352 exchange ratio.
š§¾ Q4 Revenue Flatlines: Wolfspeed posted $197M in revenue for Q4 - basically unchanged from last year - while gross margins slipped into the red. The Mohawk Valley fab brought in ~$94M, but startup costs still biting hard.

šø Trade Talk
Wolfspeed just pulled off the rare combo move: brutal earnings and a bankruptcy exit in a few weeks. Revenue flatlined, losses hit $11 a share, but the stock ripped 25% post-reorg. Debt slashed, equity wiped, new shares printed - and suddenly, it's a "fresh start." Only in markets do you get rewarded for surviving your own mess.

Wolfspeed's dropping $5āÆbillion on its new North Carolina SiC facility - despite posting a $864 million net loss last year. That's a lot of concrete for a company still bleeding red ink.
