New Fortress Energy faces financial instability

New Fortress Energy missed interest payments and entered forbearance, signaling financial instability. The company’s current liabilities exceed current assets, with growing net losses and interest payments putting the business at risk. The stock has declined by 93% this year and 98% over five years, underperforming the S&P 500. Bullish investors are hopeful for a turnaround with a long-term Puerto Rico contract.
