A $300 billion 'debt wall' is looming over private-equity backed companies, with $140 billion maturing in 2028 and $160 billion in 2029, about 5x the $60 billion that came due in 2023-25. Most was borrowed in 2021 at near-zero rates, and a quarter is rated CCC+ or below. Software companies account for about a third of the risky corporate loans due in 2028 and 2029.
