Whether OYO would have done well, absent Covid-19, is a debatable point, but in general companies who were expanding rapidly with a lot of borrowing, right before a recession starts, do not do well.

Things like OYO and WeWork seem like they'll be particularly badly affected by this downturn as they've got a lot of fixed costs (leases or property owned) and their main markets will be heavily impacted.




Oh ye forgot about WeWork. I guess JIT office space is not a very good business when people are supposed to work from home?
