Private Equity vs. Private Credit Thesis

Would be great to hear any insight to nuanced differences between an equity and credit thesis. At a high level, understand that PE investing is obviously more concerned with upside growth potential and the factors that could drive this while credit would be more concerned with general business stability. 

Any further detail would be great to hear.
