Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. may find it hard to justify making coming interest payments of roughly $28 million as its cash dwindles.
The coming payments, due Feb. 1, are the next big hurdle the beleaguered housewares retailer faces as it looks for ways to keep its business going. Bed Bath & Beyond has coupons due on all of its $1.2 billion in bonds outstanding as of August, and while it has more than enough cash on hand to make the payments, it will face a difficult choice between staying current on its debts and conserving its cash as it charts its future course.
