Eddie Bauer
Eddie Bauer is an outdoor company that has some debt problems. In 2017, its parent company Golden State Capital wanted to sell it to alleviate some of its financial issues. That was also the year that S&P Global downgraded its credit ranking. The challenge is not really new to the company since it managed to bounce back from its 2009 bankruptcy. Golden State Capital stepped in to save the company by buying it in 2009. Nasdaq said that the brand was unable to keep up with new trends. The stock exchange is not very worried about it since a merger with Pacific Sunwear might be in the works.
