What happens to Fresh Market when their $800M in bonds come due in May 2023? /  by Guest User

Fresh Markets was bought by Apollo in 2016. They have a weak balance sheet with $800M of bonds that require 9.75% interest payments. Back in April, the Fresh Market bonds were selling for less than $0.50, but today they have rocketed up to $1.03 because COVID brought a strong increase in sales. Help me understand what happens to Fresh Market when sales return to pre-COVID levels?

Open-Air REIT Stocks /  by Mauricio Abela

1613131196557.jpg

Major open-air retail REIT stocks had a major rally over the last 30 days and they have now recovered more than half of their losses. Clearly, investors see green shoots, but there is still a long way to go. As a group the REITs are trading at a huge discount to their NAV, net asset value. REITs own about 20% of major metro retail assets. Is the market telling us that the nimble entrepreneur shopping center owners will beat out the big corporate players? I'm rooting for the little guy!
