“The Importance of a Fair Appraisal: the WeWork Case Study” could be the title of a research project involving this fascinating tale. In September 2019, the firm famous for its flexible office space and co-working solutions was valued at $47 billion just before it floated on the stock market. But scrupulous investors decided to take a closer look at the books, and WeWork ultimately saw more than $30 billion wiped off its valuation within days. The company was forced to abandon their plans to go public and even found themselves on the verge of bankruptcy after losing the confidence of investors. It just goes to show, over-exaggerating can do serious damage!
