A $300 Billion Debt Wall Looms Over Private-Equity Firms

Original: A $300B 'Debt Wall' Is Looming over Private-Equity Backed Companies

Roughly $300 billion in debt held by private-equity-backed companies is coming due in the near term, a wall of maturities that analysts warn could force refinancings at sharply higher interest rates, restructurings, or defaults. The concern is that leveraged buyouts struck in the cheap-money era now face a much costlier borrowing environment, with implications for lenders, investors and the broader credit market.

Why now: Rising interest rates have put the era of cheap leveraged buyout debt in the spotlight as large maturities approach.
