Shares of the company fell over 57% in extended trading. Wolfspeed has been grappling with sluggish demand in industrial and automotive markets and tariff-induced uncertainty. The company is looking to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy that would have the support of a majority of its creditors, after rejecting several out-of-court debt restructuring proposals from creditors, the report said. Wolfspeed declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. The company, which manufactures chips using silicon carbide, raised going-concern doubts and forecast weaker-than-expected annual revenue earlier this month. The company expects revenue of $850 million in 2026, below analysts' estimate of $958.7 million. (Reporting by Juby Babu in Mexico City; Editing by Vijay Kishore and Mohammed Safi Shamsi)
