Federal bank regulatory agencies today released the 2025 Shared National Credit (SNC) report that indicates credit risk associated with large, syndicated bank loans remains moderate. Credit risk trends continue to reflect the effects of borrowers' ability to manage higher interest expenses and other macroeconomic factors.
The 2025 report reflects the examination of SNC loans originated on or before June 30, 2025. The reviews focused on leveraged loans and stressed borrowers from various industry sectors and assessed aggregate loan commitments of $100 million or more that are shared by multiple regulated financial institutions.
The 2025 SNC portfolio included 6,857 borrowers, totaling $6.9 trillion in commitments, an increase of 6 percent from a year ago. The percentage of loans that deserve management's close attention ("non-pass" loans rated "special mention" and "classified") decreased to 8.6 percent of total commitments from 9.1 percent in 2024. The decline is primarily due to growth in new commitments rather than an underlying improvement in credit quality. U.S. banks hold 45 percent of all SNC commitments. However, they only hold 22 percent of non-pass loans, down slightly from the prior year. Nearly half of total SNC commitments are leveraged, and leveraged loans comprise 81 percent of non-pass loans.

$33.5 billion! This Amazon number has "shocked" the market
Amazon's free cash flow in Q3 plummeted to -$33.5 billion, four times higher than the market expectation of -$7.7 billion. The sharp decline was caused by the dual impact of $77.3 billion in capital expenditures and $48.1 billion in new debt in a single quarter. Although AWS's growth rate reached a five-year high of 39.3%, it still fell short of buy-side expectations, and its profit margin declined. The Q4 operating profit guidance of $31 billion was entirely below Wall Street and buy-side forecasts. The core issue is that for every $1 earned by AWS, nearly $4 in new spending is tied to it.

Hedge funds are amplifying the risks of tech stocks!
Hedge funds are quietly making a risky strategic shift—from shorting individual stocks to shorting indices. This transition is accelerating the rise in stock correlations, and the “anti-leverage” buffer that once dampened volatility is disappearing. According to Goldman Sachs data, funds’ short exposure to indices and ETFs has reached a ten-year high. The VIX faces the risk of disorderly surges, and vulnerability to deep stock price declines is quietly accumulating.
