A silent crisis is spreading across the U.S. economy. While markets continue pushing higher, 372 large U.S. companies have already filed for bankruptcy in the first half of 2026. That's already more than the total bankruptcies seen in all of 2022. Industrial companies have been hit the hardest, while consumer and healthcare firms are also seeing a sharp rise in failures. The economy may look strong on the surface, but behind the scenes, more businesses are collapsing at an alarming pace.
