A $300 Billion Debt Wall Looms Over Private-Equity Backed Firms
Original: A $300B 'Debt Wall' Is Looming over Private-Equity Backed Companies
The Wall Street Journal reports that roughly $300 billion in debt taken on by private-equity backed companies is coming due in the near term, a so-called 'debt wall'. Much of this borrowing was issued during the low-interest-rate era, and refinancing at today's higher rates could strain leveraged companies, pressure buyout firms' returns and raise default risks across credit markets.
Why now: Rising interest rates are forcing a wave of leveraged buyout debt to be refinanced, stoking fears of defaults and losses across private equity and credit markets.
