With the recent opening of judicial recovery, the Americans is going through a very troubled and uncertain period. In addition to all the recent events, the trio of billionaire shareholders of the company and the legal battle between Americanas and the big banks make the future even more uncertain.
In this way, the time that the company will still be able to maintain its operations in operation it is unknown. To add to the factors mentioned, cash on hand is practically non-existent, as well as credit on the market. In this way, the Estadão heard from some specialists in the field, who do not believe that Americanas' stocks will last much longer than four months, further accelerating the retailer's bankruptcy.

Specialists did not reach a consensus as to the final deadline, but the idea is unanimous that, without some kind of financial support to make purchases in three months' time – in cash, due to the fear of suppliers that the company will not comply with payments – stocks must be empty.
This deadline was a consensus because orders traditionally take this time for suppliers to make deliveries, that way, a retailer short of supply will find that several items are out of stock even before the three or four months.
Americanas is going through one of the biggest financial crises, having seen cash go from R$ 7.8 billion to “only” R$ 800 million, within a few days. So, without a significant contribution from the billionaire shareholders – Carlos Alberto Sicupira, Jorge Paulo Lemann and Marcel Telles – the company's future is quite uncertain.
Thus, without conditions to buy from its suppliers in cash, it will be very difficult to replenish stocks in order to keep the stores in operation. The retailer's next balance sheet should be released within the next few weeks, which will allow checking the health of the company's inventories.
