Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the fishmech
About my neck was hung.

quote:

Using a broad definition (the inability to cover interest expenses for three consecutive years), zombie firms have been rising from around 2% in 1990 to 13% today.

However, investors don't seem to care much. One need only look at the cousin of zombie companies, and that is the unprofitable IPO. Historically, these are somewhat rare, but they have grown exceedingly common in recent years.


In 2018, for instance, over 80% of initial public offerings were unprofitable, setting a new record for profitless IPOs. This year seems poised to produce as many or more unprofitable company IPOs, with Lyft (LYFT), Uber (UBER), Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) and others among them. Beyond Meat (BYND) has not yet seen a profit, and yet investors have demonstrated intense cravings for its cruelty-free shares so far.

Besides being the mark of late-cycle investor mania, demand for these profitless IPO shares signifies a paucity of safer yet still attractive investment opportunities out there. Ultra-low interest rates have helped push stock yields down and valuations up, which has in turn given a greater audience to speculative growth companies, including those that regularly post losses or can't cover their fixed expenses with net income.

Data on Japanese zombie companies signifies that zombified firms are mainly concentrated among small- and medium-sized enterprises, which likely also holds true in the United States and other developed countries. But zombie companies can certainly be larger, as in the case of a certain all-electric car manufacturer.

The Curious Case of Tesla
Tesla (TSLA) provides an interesting test case. Since 2014, the company has enjoyed only five profitable quarters out of nineteen. That means Tesla has reported profits for only ~25% of its existence as a public company. And yet, the company enjoys a very low cost of capital and has taken ample advantage of it.

GuruFocus puts Tesla's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as low as 2.06%, and that is with a cost of debt of 5.95%.

man even setting aside how grossly inappropriate that is, that's still just, like, bizarrely incoherent. i mean i've been drunk and horny as gently caress and it would never occur to me to just... i'm guessing he's doing some kind of stream-of-consciousness thing where he's just blurting whatever he's fantasizing about right there? i don't know. that's the only thing i can think of. i'm baffled. like this is a level even beyond "unsolicited dick pic" in terms of how poorly thought out it is.

“They weren’t supposed to go to her,” Rosenberg told Crosscut. When the journalist asked him who they were intended for, he responded “I would rather not say.”

this is a nice way to either admit you didn't think through this excuse very well or admit that you were drunktexting your mistress
