Enviva Takes Huge Stock Price Hit
Enviva’s stock price, which has been falling all year from a high of $51 in January, sank to under a $1 a share after a new interim CEO delivered a sobering third-quarter earnings call that raised questions about the company’s viability, blaming unfavorable wood pellet pricing, problems at a plant in Virginia, higher interest expenses and other factors.
In its third quarter Security and Exchange Commission filing, Enviva cautioned that “these conditions and events in the aggregate raise substantial doubt regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”
As investors rushed for the exits, Bloomberg reported a one-day stock price drop of 79 percent. Interim CEO Glenn Nunziata (Enviva’s chief financial officer taking on the interim role) said the organization is urgently moving to “execute a multifaceted transformation plan.” He added that executives would be reviewing the company’s contracts and debt.
