As stock price deadline looms, Waitr turns over more shares to New York hedge fund

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Good morning, Acadiana. Thanks for reading us this morning.

A New York hedge fund has increased its stake in Waitr amid the Lafayette-based delivery service app’s attempts to shift its business strategies and find a more solid financial footing as its days on the stock market may be numbered.

Waitr's stock price, which was as low at 15 cents a month ago, is up to 33 cents as of this morning. 

You can read the story here. 

Have a great day and see you back here Wednesday morning.
