S&P Global Ratings expects the U.S. speculative-grade default rate at yearend 2024 to increase on a year-over-year basis to 4.75% (versus 4.5% at yearend 2023) after peaking around 5% in the meantime, but for lender debt recoveries to remain under pressure. Top-heavy debt structures, lender protections within covenant-light debt agreements, low levels of subordination, high interest rates, and aggressive out-of-court restructurings are just a few factors that shape our opinion of loss-given-default.
Join us to learn more about these factors and their impact on recovery expectations.
