We blogged earlier that BearingPoint stock had touched its all time low of 50 cents a share in September. But that was before the current meltdown in the financial markets, with today’s (October 9, 2008) shocking drop in the Dow of ~ 700 points, BearingPoint’s stock has fallen further amazingly to an even lower all-time low of 20 cents, touching at one point an intra-day low of 17 cents.
The entire company’s market capitalization is now only about $40 million, this for a consulting firm in annual sales in excess of $3 billion.
BearingPoint’s stock price is now less than a pack of Wrigley’s gum.
If there is any value to be created, this may be a time to go private, if of course there is a willing investor and a receptive debt market to absorb the risk and make the dollars available for this transaction.
The bar is so low, but we ask, are there any takers?
