The retail sector continues to face significant headwinds. Consumer spending has become more selective, and retailers with legacy business models or high leverage are under pressure. Mid-market bankruptcy activity remains elevated.
Many retailers carry significant debt loads from prior acquisitions or buyouts. Rising interest rates increase debt service burdens.
Extended payment terms have become normalized. Slow pay is increasingly common, especially among mid-market accounts.
E-commerce disruption, inventory imbalances, and consumer spending shifts continue to create volatility.
