• Chapter 11 bankruptcy is called rehabilitation bankruptcy.

When a company is successful in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it will typically be expected to continue operating in an efficient manner with its newly structured debt. If it is not successful, then it will file for chapter 7 and liquidate .  ( Shareholders will see little (if any) return on their investments)

Will Stocks that go up must come down ?

According to investopedia

The laws of physics do not apply in the stock market. There is no gravitational force that pulls stocks back to even. Over ten years ago, Berkshire Hathaway’s stock price went from $6,000 to $10,000 per share in a little more than a year. Had you thought that this stock was going to return to its lower initial position, you would have missed out on the subsequent rise to $70,000 per share over the following six years.
