Approximately 40% to 46% of Russell 2000 companies cannot cover interest expenses with operating profits, leaving them vulnerable to rising debt rollover costs.
Impact on Large-Cap Valuations00:01:27
High-valuation large-cap stocks are under pressure as elevated interest rates from money market funds make future earnings less attractive compared to current cash returns.
