Avoid This Trucking Stock

This Week's Pitch:
[YRC Worldwide] was a 2.5 Bagger in four days, rising from $0.60 to $1.60 yesterday, before retreating back to $1.14 today. [YRC Worldwide] actually has a lot of assets and after renegotiating with the Unions I actually thought they may have had a chance. $4.3 billion in sales and a $75 million market cap is fairly tempting and I can see where it bears some investigation. The bottomline, however is that [YRC Worldwide] continued to signal that it is unlikely to dig its way out.
Part of the agreement with unions and bondholders ended up being dilution to the point that stockholders had only a few percent, at best, of any equity left. Losses continue to mount and [YRC Worldwide] has a net negative stockholder equity of $285 million. With bankruptcy still possible and a negative book value and only 2.5% of the shares left in stockholders hands, a 2.5X 4 day rise in share price should not have occurred.
Some equities facing bankruptcy get new financing as investors/banks, etc, don't want to own the company by foreclosing and they balance their risk reward between letting a company run or taking what is left. Regardless to how it plays out, the shareholders have nothing left. A few [companies] with decent assets have survived and help fuel the speculators, (GGP, Pilgrim's Pride, etc). Finding company's where the assets can be realigned and [there] is sufficient equity for the stockholders is rare and neither of these two plays appears to have the attributes, although [YRC Worldwide] might have a year ago if someone didn't dig all the way into the books.
Speculation is one reason that we don't have an efficient market, and it is only getting worse. Evergreen Solar, Inc and [YRC Worldwide] are wrestling to stay out of bankruptcy yet their stock prices dramatically change the market cap in a few short trading hours.
If you decide to participate in these moves then don't be surprised if you're the one left without a chair and sorely limited ass-ets.

Aber hier ein Leserkommentar:
I think Motley is all washed up on this one. Yrc is bringing back their Teamster workforce, and Holland has adds in every market for employees. New Truck orders have been placed, and they are rolling in to service centers daily.....Customers are sick of hearing the scab carriers cry doom and gloom..... Folks..... Motley is the fool here,
Ich denke, Motley ist(mit seinenAnalysen) hier gescheitert! YRC holt gerade seine Teamster Belegschaft wieder zurück und Holland sucht in Anzeigen neue Mitarbeiter. Truck-Bestellungen werden getätigt, und sie rollen täglich in die Service-Center... Die Kunden sind es satt , sich die Weltuntergangsszenarien der Streikbrecher-Spediteure anzuhören. Leute, Motley ist hier der Narr!
Armin71 schreibt jetzt in Amerika Kommentare? Hier fehlen aber die Frachtzahlen.
Denke auf Sicht geht es hier weiter rauf. Da kauft sich jemand über die Börse in größeren Stückzahlen ein, meine Vermutung. Schaun wir mal übernächste Woche...
1.500 000 000 neue OS ihm zur freien Verfügung bereitgestellt.

sieht aus als yrcw immer mehr Kunden bekommt.
Hoffe die Quartalszahlen oder ein Zwischenbericht kommt noch vor der Rekapitaliserung

-- Significant milestone reached as company moves toward closing its financial restructuring plan
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW) announced today it has obtained commitments for a three-year, $400 million asset-based loan (ABL) facility that will replace the company's existing asset-backed securitization (ABS) facility. Commitments for the ABL facility comply with the agreements reached April 29, 2011, with key stakeholders providing for their support of the company's financial restructuring plan.
"Replacing the ABS facility with this new facility should improve the company's liquidity," says John Lamar, chief restructuring officer and lead director of YRC Worldwide." That helps support our industry's seasonal pattern of revenues and provides the financial flexibility and run room we need to grow the business."
Lamar says YRC Worldwide remains on track to close the restructuring later this month.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words "would," "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "intend" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. It is important to note that any restructuring will be subject to a number of significant conditions, including, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in the definitive agreements related to the restructuring and the lack of unexpected or adverse litigation results. The company cannot provide you with any assurances that the conditions contained in the definitive agreements related to the restructuring will be satisfied or that the restructuring can be completed in the timeframes required under the company's various agreements with its stakeholders. The company cannot provide you with any assurances that any restructuring can be completed out-of-court or whether the company will be required to implement the restructuring under the supervision of a bankruptcy court, in which event, the company cannot provide you with any assurances that the terms of any such restructuring will not be substantially and materially different than any description in this news release or that an effort to implement an in-court restructuring would be successful. In addition, even if a restructuring is completed, the company's future results could differ materially from any results projected in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (among others), the effect of any restructuring, whether out-of-court or in-court, may have on the company's customers' willingness to ship their products on the company's transportation network, the company's ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations, which raises substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which the company bases its fuel surcharge, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service, ability to capture cost reductions, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity, effects of a terrorist attack, labor relations, including (without limitation), the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, any obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction, and the risk factors that are from time to time included in the company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
