Sable Offshore Corp. shares collapsed to a record low of 76 cents on November 9 after the company disclosed in its third-quarter 10-Q that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Sources reported the intraday decline at between 50% and 75%, reflecting the severity of the liquidity warning. The stock was also cited among the biggest pre-market decliners, down more than 31% at the open before losses deepened through the session.

The crisis was triggered when Sable's sole crude oil purchaser halted purchases in early October, citing refinery maintenance. With no other buyer in place, revenue dried up and cash reserves fell to just $38 million at the end of the third quarter. The company said it is considering a bulk sale of its crude oil inventory to raise working capital and has since begun selling to three additional Los Angeles-area refineries as of early November.

Sable reported its Q3 2026 financial results on the same day, posting a net loss for the quarter while beating revenue estimates by 16.51% but missing earnings per share estimates by 13.89%. The going-concern language in the SEC filing overshadowed the revenue beat and raised immediate questions about the company's near-term financial viability.
