The number of companies with the worst below-investment grade debt ratings has jumped to a two-year high of 184 firms, with the oil price rout pushing a record 25 U.S. energy producers onto this month's list at Moody’s.
The oil-and-gas and oil services companies listed account for a record 13.6% of the total of stressed companies rated B3 - six notches into junk territory - with a negative outlook for future ratings changes or lower; historically, oil firms have averaged ~8% of the firms on the list.
During Q1, a dozen oil companies including Energy XXI, Midstates Petroleum and Halcon Resources, were added.
If oil firms’ liquidity issues do not get fixed and they keep getting downgraded, the industry likely will see more debt defaults, Moody’s analyst Julia Chursin says.
