Eddie Bauer Retail Operator Files for Bankruptcy Protection Amid Tariff Uncertainty

Eddie Bauer Retail Operator Files for Bankruptcy Protection Amid Tariff Uncertainty

Seattle, Tuesday, 10 February 2026.
On February 9, 2026, the operator of Eddie Bauer’s retail footprint in North America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing “ongoing tariff uncertainty” and declining sales as pivotal factors. This marks the third bankruptcy for the 106-year-old heritage brand, though this filing is distinct as it isolates the brick-and-mortar operations; the brand’s e-commerce and wholesale divisions, managed separately by Authentic Brands Group, remain unaffected. The operating entity, a division of Catalyst Brands, is attempting to restructure debt and locate a buyer for roughly 180 stores across the United States and Canada. Failure to secure a sale could result in a complete wind-down of physical locations, a move that highlights the widening divergence between digital resilience and physical retail vulnerability in the current economic climate.

TeamViewer Issues Cautious 2026 Outlook With Focus on Profitability Over Expansion

TeamViewer Issues Cautious 2026 Outlook With Focus on Profitability Over Expansion

Göppingen, Tuesday, 10 February 2026.
German software developer TeamViewer has signaled a significant slowdown, projecting fiscal year 2026 revenue growth of just 0% to 3%. This conservative outlook, released on February 10, 2026, stems primarily from persistent market volatility and foreign exchange headwinds that have already dampened FY 2025 performance. Despite the stagnant top-line forecast, the company remains a profitability powerhouse, committing to an impressive adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 43%. While the enterprise segment shows promise with the integration of 1E, the broader picture reflects the struggle European tech firms face against currency fluctuations. Management is prioritizing margin stability and debt reduction over aggressive expansion in this uncertain economic climate.
