NEW YORK, January 26, 2026 –
Proskauer today released its latest Private Credit Default Index
(the “Index”), which tracks senior-secured and unitranche
loans in the United States. The Index revealed a default rate of
2.46% for the period of October 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. The
rate represents an increase from 1.84% in Q3 and 1.76% in Q2
2025.
This quarter’s Index encompasses 691 loans representing
$144.5 billion in original principal amount.
“Although we saw a modest increase in defaults this
quarter, the broader picture remains one of stability and
resilience in private credit. As lenders navigate shifting
macroeconomic conditions, we’re seeing a sector that is
adapting well and managing through the bumps in the road.”
said Stephen
A. Boyko, partner and co-founder of Proskauer’s Private
Credit Group.
In companies with EBITDA of less than $25 million, defaults held
steady (0.1% increase). For those with EBITDA of $25 million to
$49.9 million, we observed a modest increase from 2.6% in Q3 2025
to 3.6% in Q4 2025. Companies with EBITDA equal to or greater than
$50 million also rose to 2.4% in Q4 2025 from 1.2% in Q3 2025.
The Proskauer Index contains a comparison to default rates
published by the rating agencies, historical trends by industry and
EBITDA bands, defaults by type, defaults in cov-lite loans and
defaults by year of origination. The full report is available only
to the Firm’s direct lending clients.
