Access Our Latest Research
In 2025, U.S. corporate bankruptcies increased for the third consecutive year. Total Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 bankruptcies climbed above 22,000, about 18% higher than the 10-year average of approximately 18,700. Trailing 12-month Q3 2025 bankruptcy filings also reached a 11-year high, according to U.S. Courts data.
Chart of the Day: CreditRiskMonitor’s U.S. FRISK® Stress Index remains in high-risk territory. The FRISK® Stress Index aggregates public company FRISK® Scores to predict financial stress over the next 12 months (by industry, geography, or portfolio). In 2026, the U.S. FRISK® Stress Index reached 1.3%, above the average annual corporate bankruptcy rate of 1%.
Based on this trend in the FRISK® Stress Index, we anticipate that bankruptcy filings will remain elevated over the next 12 months. Our clients also use this tool on their portfolios to better understand their unique risk exposure.
