Sears Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHLD) shares dipped on Thursday after the company announced that it would be closing more stores. This is the most recent development on its race to becoming a penny stock, or maybe worse.
The company announced that it is closing another 13 Kmart stores and 33 Sears stores as sales shrink and losses grow.
These liquidation sales at the 46 unprofitable stores marked for closure will begin at the end of August and the stores will close in November.
It’s worth pointing out that this move comes as Sears is considering a bid from CEO Eddie Lampert’s hedge fund ESL Investments to acquire its jewel Kenmore appliances from the company for $400 million.
