There is no particular news that could have led to the increase in BuzzFeed stock prices. Earlier on February 1, a report claimed that the entertainment and media company had limited hiring due to its rough public debut.
Published reports claimed that BuzzFeed would only hire people for critical positions, and it will not add any new jobs unless there is a business-case justification.
BuzzFeed reportedly had a tough start as the SPAC merger deal suffered 94 per cent redemptions, and this left the company with only US$ 16 million in cash instead of US$ 287.5 million.
Bottom line
BuzzFeed is looking to make organizational changes, and on January 6, it named Christian Baesler as the Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr Baesler was working as the chief executive officer of Complex Networks, a company acquired by BuzzFeed last month.
According to the Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, BuzzFeed's total revenue was US$ 251.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
