PlanetOut Stock Plunge

by David Evans on May 23, 2007 in Dating Industry Finance

According to Barron’s, by way of SeekingAlpha, PlanetOut is running out of cash and the stock is down more than 31% in the last two days of trading.

With the ongoing slide in the stock – on Monday, PlanetOut shares fell 17 cents to 98 cents – the company’s market cap is down to a paltry $17.3 million. (CFO Dan) Miller notes that the company’s Gay.com URL is “incredibly valuable.â€? That may be true; what’s not clear is whether the company can raise enough cash to avoid having the site and the rest of PlanetOut’s assets sold off in a Chapter 11 fire sale.

The company has hired Allen & Co. to consider strategic alternatives.
