U.S. corporate bankruptcies continue to pile up amid the coronavirus pandemic but at a rate that continues to slow down from earlier in the crisis.

Twenty companies joined the list of bankruptcies in the last two weeks, according to an S&P Global Market Intelligence analysis. This is slightly below the number of filings in comparable periods since August when Market Intelligence began tracking the bankruptcies. In previous two-week periods, bankruptcies numbered as high as 31 or 25. In the prior edition of this tracker, published Oct. 5, 22 bankruptcies occurred over two weeks.

A total of 527 companies have entered bankruptcy proceedings in 2020 as of Oct. 18. The year-to-date count continues to trend higher than comparable levels since 2010.

Market Intelligence's analysis is limited to public companies or private companies with public debt where either assets or liabilities at the time of the bankruptcy filing are greater than or equal to $2 million or private companies where either assets or liabilities at the time of filing are greater than or equal to $10 million.

Companies including YogaWorks Inc., NinePoint Medical Inc. and MD America Energy LLC declared bankruptcy between Oct. 5 and Oct. 18. Most of the companies that went bankrupt during this period sought bankruptcy protection voluntarily, but none listed more than $1 billion in liabilities.
