Private credit is coming under growing strain even as parts of the industry maintain a generally upbeat tone, according to an analysis by the WSJ Markets.

The outlet points to default rates that have reached recent highs, a sign that credit performance is weakening.

It also notes that internal reviews of loan health are indicating that investors may face a tougher environment going forward.

The analysis frames the current picture as a growing mismatch between industry sentiment and the deterioration in underlying borrower outcomes.
