📉 Corporate Bankruptcies Surge to a 15-Year High in 2025
A total of 717 major companies have filed for bankruptcy in just the first 11 months of 2025 — the highest level since 2010. This also marks the third consecutive year of rising filings.
August alone saw 76 bankruptcies, the most in six years. Elevated interest rates, tighter margins, weakening demand, and ongoing trade pressures are putting serious stress on corporate balance sheets.
The bigger picture: This trend is flashing a clear warning for credit markets, employment, and overall economic stability, raising tough questions about the credibility of the so-called “soft landing.”
Investors and institutions are now monitoring corporate financial health more closely than ever. How do you see this unfolding in the coming months? ⚠️📊
