Tupperware has been wrestling with a number of challenges. In its preliminary full-year results, reported in March, the company sported an 18% sales decline compared with the previous year. The following month, Tupperware issued a going-concern warning and also announced the hiring of financial advisers to help it navigate its near-term challenges.
Tupperware’s recent trading activity is reminiscent of spikes in other names also recently seen as “left for dead,” as Samantha LaDuc, founder of LaDucTrading.com, put it to MarketWatch this week.
