Circuit City Files Bankruptcy For Losing Billions

Circuit City, the second biggest chain of electornics store in the United States has recently filed bankruptcy for losing billions of dollars. Circuit City is among the top companies that has filed bankruptcy since the start of the world crisis this year.

BusinesWeek stated in a report that “Circuit City (CC) has lost more than $5 billion in stock market value over the past two years, and a bankruptcy filing has been anticipated for months (BusinessWeek.com, 7/2/08). Its business was gradually stolen away by discounters such as Wal-Mart (WMT), specialty chain Best Buy (BBY), and online sites like Amazon.com (AMZN) and Buy.com. In July, a proposed $1 billion acquisition by Blockbuster (BBI) fell apart. CEO Philip Schoonover quit in September under pressure from activist shareholder Mark Wattles.

Wal-Mart has vastly stepped up its commitment to consumer electronics over the past five years. Last year, Wal-Mart generated $17 billion in consumer electronics sales, while Best Buy did $28 billion and Circuit City did just under $11 billion, according to Pali Capital. Wal-Mart’s market share has surged thanks to its low-price mantra—just this past weekend, the retailer unveiled discounts on hundreds of items, including Blu-ray DVD players marked down to under $200.”
