$300 Billion Debt Wall Looms Over Private-Equity Companies
Original: A $300B 'Debt Wall' Is Looming over Private-Equity Backed Companies
The Wall Street Journal reports that around $300 billion in debt taken on by private-equity-backed companies is approaching maturity, forming what analysts call a debt wall. Firms that borrowed cheaply years ago now face refinancing at much higher interest rates, raising concerns about defaults, restructurings and losses for lenders and investors across the leveraged finance market.
Why now: Refinancing risk at higher interest rates is a pressing concern for private equity and credit markets right now.
