FAT Brands Inc. has seen a significant price increase of 931.25% in pre-market trading as it crosses above the 5-day SMA.
The company has initiated voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in Texas to deleverage its balance sheet while ensuring that its 18 restaurant concepts, including Fatburger and Johnny Rockets, continue to operate normally. CEO Andy Wiederhorn stated that this process aims to protect over 45,000 employees and maintain competitive service quality.
This strategic move is expected to maximize stakeholder value and support the ongoing growth of FAT Brands, despite the challenging circumstances.
