Private equity-owned companies borrowed $94 billion in leveraged loans and high-yield bonds in the US to fund their own payouts last year, increasing risk to the businesses, according to an analysis by Moody’s Ratings. The transactions, called dividend recapitalizations, have gained popularity among private equity firms who are looking for ways to cash in on their investments. Exits have become more difficult because economic uncertainty has slowed acquisition activity and the market for initial public offerings, Moody’s said. Meanwhile, the credit market has stayed open to borrowers, including companies that are already leveraged. That’s allowed private equity firms to load more debt onto their portfolio companies, but such deals don’t boost earnings and are generally seen by credit ratings agencies as negative because they raise interest expenses. “Because this behavior often coincides with challenging exit environments, it suggests sponsors are prioritizing investor distributions over long-term credit health,” the Moody’s analysts wrote. About $50 billion, or 53% of dividend recapitalization deal volume, was distributed to sponsors in 2025, up from $33 billion, or 34%, in 2024. The rest was used to refinance existing debt and for other corporate purposes. The recapitalization strategy may draw greater scrutiny from investors as credit markets reconsider how much risk they’re willing to take on amid disruption from artificial intelligence. The uncertainty has already prompted a selloff in some software credit earlier this year. Business services, software and IT services rank among the top sectors for dividend recap deals larger than $1 billion over the past five years, the report shows. In one case study, Blackstone -backed fintech provider IntraFi’s leverage rose to more than 9 times after it funded a nearly $1.5 billion dividend with debt last year, reaching one of the highest levels in company history. It may take the company nearly two years for leverage to f...

Eric Francis/Getty Images News Warren Buffett recently made a "tiny" new purchase on behalf of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ), but wouldn't make any investment that the new CEO, Greg Abel, thinks is wrong, the 95-year-old famed investor told CNBC News in an interview. Buffett remains closely involved in investment decisions at the multinational conglomerate holding company despite having stepped down from the CEO role in December, he said. Buffett still comes into the office daily and stays engaged with the markets, according to the interview. On the recent market volatility and buying opportunities, he said that current conditions fall far short of periods that created major buying opportunities, and there is "nothing to make you get excited".

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Photo: VCG Hong Kong has delayed issuing its first batch of compliant stablecoin licenses, missing a previously announced March target. The pause signals regulators’ preference for tighter risk controls over speed as global authorities grapple with how to supervise fast-growing, crypto-linked payment instruments, people familiar with the matter said. A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) told Caixin the regulator is pressing ahead with the licensing process and will make an announcement in due course. The delay comes after public commitments from senior officials, including HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue and Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po, who said in his Feb. 25 budget speech that the first licenses would be issued in March. Hong Kong’s Stablecoins Ordinance took effect on Aug. 1, 2025.

US high-yield bonds are on track to post their first negative quarterly returns since 2022 as fears of artificial intelligence disrupting software makers and rising Treasury yields made investors more reluctant to bet on riskier companies. High-yield bond returns have dropped 1.1% this quarter through Monday’s close, with triple C rated bonds — the riskiest tier — falling the most with a 1.85% decline. Overall junk bond returns are the worst since a 9.8% decline in the second quarter of 2022, when investors were concerned about rising inflation and aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve. While oil and Treasury yields are again soaring since the Middle East conflict erupted over a month ago, companies and the economy are now stronger than in the post-pandemic period, according to Vishwas Patkar , head of Morgan Stanley ’s US credit strategy team. Interest rates have also stabilized since then. “I wouldn’t say it’s been broad based jitters, but the last few weeks, we have seen spreads widen,” Patkar said. “So there’s a bit of a risk premium being injected into the market. I don’t think it’s been panicky at all. It’s been an orderly sort of reset.” Yields on junk bonds are trading around 300 basis points above Treasuries, which is still near a “historic low,” he said. According to Corry Short , credit strategist at Barclays , much of the negative returns can be attributed to the changes in Treasury yields rather than credit spreads widening. In 2022, returns for high-yield bonds fell 11.1% over the course of the year after a dramatic increase in post-pandemic demand and an oil price shock tied to Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine fueled inflation. The Fed also increased interest rates by more than four percentage points that year, further driving down returns for high-yield bonds. “The market is different from 2022,” said Bob Kricheff , portfolio manager for Shenkman Capital Management. “The financing market was working, but we had not had this extended period of hea...
