Abengoa Bonds, Shares Tumble as Capital Plan Fails to Reassure

Updated on

Abengoa SA’s bonds and shares plunged after the Spanish renewable-energy company’s plan to shore up capital failed to reassure investors that it can stop burning cash.

Abengoa said on Monday that it’s seeking to raise 650 million-euros ($713 million) of capital and dispose of 500 million euros of assets, according to a regulatory filing. The Seville-based company stepped up disposal plans from 400 million euros as recently as Friday, when it also told investors that corporate free cash-flow for 2015 will be as much as 800 million euros lower than previously forecast.
