NEW YORK — Troubled clothing chain American Apparel Inc. said Tuesday it might not have enough liquidity to sustain itself over the next year.
The news sent shares down 21 percent to a 52-week low.
The company also reported Tuesday a preliminary second-quarter loss. It expressed doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern,” standard language foreshadowing a possible bankruptcy.
