Corporate bonds: Refinancing pressure rises again

VIS Rating's Q3 report recorded new corporate bond issuance of 172 trillion VND, up 9.7% year on year, mainly driven by secondary bonds from banks and some real estate firms. Banks accounted for 66% of issuance value and real estate for 26%, while private placements made up 83%. The rate of newly delayed payments over the past 12 months fell to about 0.2%, from 0.38% in the previous quarter, and cumulative debt recovery reached 51.5%. However, about 252 trillion VND of bonds will mature in the next 12 months, up from 157 trillion VND in the prior 12 months, with a significant share being bonds that were previously delayed or restructured. Experts warn that refinancing pressure remains high, especially for issuers facing financial difficulties.

  • Why did CoreWeave stock get crushed this week? Look to this corner of the debt market for clues

    CoreWeave shares fell nearly 12% on Friday and lost a quarter of their value over the week, as the Nasdaq posted a 4.5% weekly loss amid worries about borrowing-fueled AI infrastructure spending. The article points to the bond market, where the yield on CoreWeave's 2031 bond nearly reached 16% this week after being issued at 9.75%, and five-year credit default swaps topped 1,000 basis points, implying around a 60% chance of default within five years according to Bloomberg. The author explains that CDS prices track default risk and act as a real-time gauge of investor sentiment, and that equity often falls well before any default occurs. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said CoreWeave's financial position is stable and “improving every day,” which helped the stock close higher on Thursday after earlier losses.

  • Jamie Dimon Sharpened His Warning About a Looming Corporate Credit Squeeze, Saying Global Competition for Capital Means "The Market Will Ask for More." Here's Why That Warning Matters for Borrowers and Bond Investors.

    JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warns that the bond market is showing stress, as U.S. Treasury yields have surged and the 10-year Treasury recently hit its highest yield in 24 years. He is concerned that a global bond sell-off could spill into corporate credit, raising borrowing costs and leading to defaults, credit downgrades, job losses and possibly a stock market crash. The article notes that AI hyperscalers are borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to buy semiconductors and build data centers, creating more competition for capital in the bond market. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) has returned negative 2.72% year to date and negative 3.45% over the past three months. Companies rated below investment grade would face the most pressure if borrowing costs keep rising.

  • Winning over Vingroup and Sun Group with concrete and special materials: Vietnamese company's profit up 136%, chairman speaks out

    Song Da Cao Cuong (SCL) reported Q3/2026 profit of VND 38 billion, up 136%, on net revenue of over VND 263 billion (up nearly 98%), while gross profit margin rose from about 36% to 41%. For the first nine months, revenue reached nearly VND 666 billion (up 81%) and after-tax profit nearly VND 94 billion, already exceeding more than 110% of its full-year profit target. Chairman Kieu Van Mat attributed the results to technology upgrades, production line optimization and capacity expansion, with several new plants expected to start operations by November 2026. The company said it spent more than two years testing its products before Vingroup accepted them; Vingroup's share of its business has fallen to about 25% as customers expanded to around 10 major groups and exports began to Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the past two years, the company has invested about VND 1,000 billion in factories and technology.

  • UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.

    UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

  • Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

  • What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?

    X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
