Leverage is increasing in buyout deals according to a recent WSJ.com article. In "Debt Loads Climb in Buyout Deals," the article explores how leverage is increasing in these deals. According to the article, since the beginning of 2008 buyout deals were funded with 42% of equity, but this has dropped to 33% in the past 6 months, getting closer to the levels seen in 2006 and 2007. In addition, the average debt in buyout deals in the second half of 2012 has been 5.5x EBITDA, which is also close to pre-crisis levels.
