From Par To Pennies

Zero Hedge | negative | Published: 14:00 Sep 06, 2026 (Eastern)

The article discusses the private credit market, arguing that its valuations often mask underlying deterioration in loans until bankruptcy or other major events force a sharp markdown from par to pennies. It highlights the opacity of private credit valuations, which rely on models and management judgment rather than liquid market trading. As an example, the piece points to Loparex, a borrower held by Blue Owl Capital Corp., whose debt was carried near par or high levels before being heavily marked down and placed on nonaccrual, with Moody's citing a potential Chapter 11 filing.

Keywords: private credit, valuation, bankruptcy, Blue Owl Capital, Loparex, default, leverage

Nike's stock has declined nearly 80% from its 2021 peak, with its market capitalization falling from $280 billion to $56 billion. The article attributes Nike's struggles and loss of market share to rivals like On and Hoka to a shift in focus toward left-wing cultural issues rather than core athletic products.

Phil Schiller’s App Store exit reportedly driven by wariness over future plans

TechCrunch | neutral | Published: 17:41 Sep 06, 2026 (Eastern)

According to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, longtime Apple executive Phil Schiller's decision to step down as head of the App Store was partly motivated by a desire to focus on family and philanthropy. However, Schiller was also wary of new CEO John Ternus and services chief Eddy Cue's plans to improve App Store margins and increase recurring revenue. Believing this strategy would lead to heightened conflict with developers and governments, Schiller chose to step down rather than be involved, though he will remain at Apple as an Apple Fellow.
