Wolfspeed shares were down 58% to $1.31 after hours on Tuesday as The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, said the company is preparing to file for bankruptcy within a matter of weeks.
The maker of silicon-carbide wafers and semiconductor components said on May 9 that it remained actively engaged with lenders to improve its capital structure.
Wolfspeed, which was expected to receive up to $750 million in taxpayer support via the 2022 Chips Act, said in March that it maintained constructive dialogue with the White House, legislators and the Commerce Department regarding federal funding.
