The stock rose today, not because the dead cat but.....On Wednesday Weatherford announced a multi-step debt financing plan that will take some of the pressure off. Its shares jumped by 8% on the news to nearly $3 per share (they later eased back to $2.82).
Bill Herbert, senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray’s Simmons & Co. International, said that assuming reasonable execution of the proposed transactions, it’s a welcome development that could provide Weatherford with “much-needed breathing room” over the next two years.
