$100M Convertible Offering and Q2 Loss Deepen Wabash's Cash Crunch
WNC sits 81% above its 52-week low of $6.63.
Summary
Wabash is raising $100M via convertible notes, with a $15M greenshoe option, and has amended its credit agreement to permit a $150 million convertible notes offering. The offering follows a brutal Q1 loss of $1.11/share and comes alongside preliminary Q2 results showing a $23–26M net loss. The company is burning cash fast — this raise is critical to shore up liquidity and repay credit line borrowings. Terms (rate, conversion price) aren't set yet, but the dilutive impact could be significant given the $546M market cap. The Q2 loss, while narrower than Q1, confirms the downturn isn't reversing quickly. Watch for final pricing — a low conversion premium would signal weak demand and deeper distress.
