Vice Media headlined a group of seven major companies that filed for bankruptcy in a recent 48-hour period.
The filings have laid bare just how exposed highly indebted firms are in the wake of interest-rate hikes.
Data from Moody's and S&P Global suggest the pain could just be getting underway, and could last all year.
On a specific industry basis, the financial sector is under duress following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, with multiple other institutions following suit in recent weeks. Retailers from Bed Bath & Beyond to David's Bridal have filed for bankruptcy in recent weeks. Envision Healthcare — a medical-staffing company backed by KKR — was one of the six firms to declare alongside Vice.
What this assorted list shows is that no industry is safe from balance-sheet bogeys. If a company got too aggressive loading up on debt during the low-interest-rate era, chances are it will soon be feeling the pain.

Got to hire those yung uns to bring in the future , and get rid of the veterans because they make too much money .
Those yung uns don't care if it's functional , only that it is "pretty" and "colorful" .
"One gets what they pay for."
It's all about stock price , and that concept is failing .
