2011《财富》美国500强10大烂股

第1名：耶路全球物流公司

    交易代码: YRCWD

    年初至今股票表现: -99%

    市值: 6800万美元

    财富500强排名: 488

    耶路全球物流公司（YRC Worldwide）已经连续第二年入围十大烂股榜单，这家卡车运输公司还没有从经济衰退中恢复元气。

    5月份该股跌破了1美元，后来甚至一度低至0.03美分。这样的暴跌促使纳斯达克发出了摘牌的警告。

    为避免摘牌厄运，12月份YRC董事会批准了一项反向拆股计划，推动股价回升至13美元。但此举严重稀释了股东权益。

    YRC的困境最早可追溯至2003年，当时它举债几十亿美元进行了两次昂贵的收购交易。2003年YRC收购了竞争对手Roadway Corp，2006年又收购了USF Corp。

    2009年由于运输量陡降和信贷紧张，YRC遇到了还贷困难，公司一度濒临破产。

    连续两年经历了一系列季度亏损之后，YRC最近称，公司第三季度销售额增长了12%，尽管盈利仍然在继续下滑。

    YTD stock performance: -99%

    Market cap: $68 million

    Fortune 500 rank: 488

    YRC Worldwide made the list of worst performing stocks for a second year in a row, as the trucking company has yet to bounce back from the recession.

    The stock fell below $1 in May, and traded as low as 3 cents a share later in the year. The slump prompted a warning that the company could be delisted from the Nasdaq.

    To prevent that, YRC's board authorized a reverse stock split in December, which drove shares back up to $13. But the move severely diluted shareholder equity.

    YRC's woes date back to 2003, when it borrowed billions of dollars to finance two expensive mergers. They bought Roadway Corp in 2003 and then USF Corp in 2006.

    The company came close to bankruptcy in 2009 as shipping volumes plummeted and the credit crunch made it difficult for YRC to service its debts.

    While the company has suffered a string of quarterly losses over the last two years, YRC said third-quarter sales rose 12%, even as profits continued to decline.
