Reuters has created several data visualizations illustrating the mounting debt and financial stress of U.S. companies. One visualization shows that corporate debt as a percentage of gross domestic product surpassed consumer debt for the first time in almost 30 years in 2019. Another visualization shows that the financial stress of U.S. firms, a measure of stock values, creditworthiness, funding availability, cash flows, and market volatility, is at its highest level since 2009.
