End of an Era? Kodak Faces Possible Shutdown After 133 Years

Photography icon Eastman Kodak has issued a stark warning about its future, saying it may not be able to continue operations much longer. In its latest earnings filing, the 133-year-old company acknowledged it lacks the financing and liquidity to meet nearly $500 million in upcoming debt obligations.

In a bid to reduce costs, Kodak will suspend payments to its retirement pension plan, a move that underscores the severity of its financial troubles. The market reacted sharply, with shares plunging around 25–26% following the announcement.

Despite the grim outlook, Kodak remains cautiously optimistic. The company says it plans to pay off part of its debt early or seek refinancing, while continuing to diversify into pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing in hopes of stabilizing its future.

Founded in 1892, Kodak was once synonymous with photography worldwide, but has struggled to adapt in the digital era. This latest warning marks one of the most serious challenges in its long history.
