The European leveraged finance market opened the year at pace, with steady primary issuance and a wave of opportunistic repricings. That momentum has since broken, as an AI-driven sell-off across technology credits has effectively brought repricing activity to a halt and made investors markedly more cautious. Primary markets remain open, but visibility on the outlook for software credits is limited.
In this webinar, our credit experts discussed leveraged loans, high-yield bonds ,and CLOs and their effects on issuance, pricing, and restructuring activity into the second half of 2026, informed by Q1 data.
