Private Credit Is Showing More Signs of Distress
Private credit markets are showing increasing signs of distress, with non-accrual debt rising among the largest BDCs. In Q2, non-accrual debt at the top 10 BDCs increased to 3.95% of total debt, up from 3.75% in Q1. The broader BDC universe also saw a rise in non-accrual borrowers, reaching 4.69% in Q1 2026.
