Bed Bath & Beyond loses appeal to reopen short swing case against Hudson Bay
Bed Bath & Beyond has been denied an opportunity to reopen a lawsuit against Hudson Bay Capital Management after a three-judge panel affirmed a district court’s ruling dismissing the original lawsuit. The original Bed Bath & Beyond entity sued Hudson Bay and HBC Investments for $300 million for violating stock ownership rules, which require executives and outside investors with a 10% or greater stake in the company to surrender short swing profits from discounted shares purchased prior to its bankruptcy filing. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled in October 2025 that Bed Bath & Beyond failed to show that Hudson Bay beneficially owned more than 10% of the stock and that claims related to derivative conversions and sales within six months were legally sufficient. Bed Bath & Beyond declared bankruptcy in April 2023 after struggling with high debt, declining sales, inventory shortages, and inability to pay vendors.

Bed Bath & Beyond bets $53 million on beating Zillow, Redfin
Bed Bath & Beyond is acquiring technology-driven real estate platform Fathom Holdings for $53 million, marking its latest move to become an end-to-end homeownership platform. The deal, announced June 17, fills the last major gap in CEO Marcus Lemonis' strategy to serve customers throughout the homeownership lifecycle, from finding and financing a home to furnishing and renovating it. The acquisition puts Bed Bath & Beyond in direct competition with Zillow and Redfin by integrating Fathom's property listings and agent network with the retailer's existing investments in home services, renovations, and financing. Analysts have expressed skepticism about the company's ability to integrate multiple distressed brands into a coherent proposition, but Lemonis remains confident that homeowners want a single trusted relationship across the entire home lifecycle.
