LP-Backed Credit Facilities Emerge as Companies Stay Private 20+ Years

Companies like SpaceX now stay private for over two decades, forcing venture capital limited partners to seek new liquidity options as traditional IPO exits stall. Specialized lenders like Turbine are offering credit facilities backed by LP fund positions, creating alternatives to selling on secondary markets at steep discounts. The shift addresses a liquidity crisis as VCs continue capital calls while distributions from exits remain frozen since 2022.

Biotech Catalyst Wave: Late-2026 Clinical Readouts, PDUFA Dates and Capital Restructuring
A dense cluster of Q4 2026 to Q1 2027 clinical and regulatory catalysts spans hepatitis delta (Vir's ECLIPSE/SOLSTICE), hypertension and sleep apnea (Mineralys' lorundrostat, PDUFA 2026-12-22), severe hypertriglyceridemia (plozasiran), oncology (ivonescimab BLA, PDUFA 2026-11-14) and gene therapy (Krystal). Positive data flow from AASLD and AHA presentations is offset by cost-cutting guidance, milestones slipping into 2027, and a delisting process that signals capital-market stress for some issuers. Near-term value hinges on binary FDA decisions and Phase 3 topline readouts in Q1 2027.

Where sources disagree
Ford Motor Company
Both facts give cash for Ford Motor Company at the same point in time (2025-12-31; FY 2025 year-end and Q4 2025 year-end are the same date). Both are labelled USD, but the values are 23,356,000,000 and 23.356, which cannot both be true in USD. The two numbers agree once the second is read as billions (23.356 bn = 23,356,000,000), so the economic content is consistent and the conflict is a unit/scale error in the Q4 2025 record. The period is not the reason for the conflict: a Q4 and an FY figure at the same year-end date should match.
