QVCG preferred and common equity are worthless under the confirmed plan — holders receive no distribution. The stock should trade toward zero as the plan becomes effective. Monitor for the effective date and any potential appeal by objecting equity holders, though the court's thorough findings make reversal unlikely.

Executive Summary
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas confirmed QVC Group's prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, approving a comprehensive intercompany settlement that resolves billions in potential claims. The plan extinguishes QVCG's preferred and common equity with no recovery for shareholders, while paying all third-party general unsecured claims in full and positioning the operating entity for long-term success. The court overruled objections from preferred equity holders who argued the settlement process was unfair, finding the negotiations were arm's-length and the plan complies with the Bankruptcy Code.
