Cost of debt and equity for distressed companies
Hi all,
I understand that cost of debt is typically calculated through the the weighted YTM on a company's bond issuance, and cost of equity is normally calculated out through CAPM, but I was wondering when assessing the cost of debt/equity for distressed companies we would still use these metrics, or are there alternative measures that would typically be looked at first?
An approximation for COD for a distressed company can be the YTM on the most recently issued debt security. WACC you need to adjust beta and add a distress premium. Can get tricky / situation dependent. This is rough back of the napkin math I've done before. Can get more complex in an engagement. See literature below for more resources:
