How can I find a list of companies that have defaulted on their bond payments?

Bloomberg (available in the Business Library): In the command line enter SRCH  and hit GO (e.g. SRCH <GO>) to bring up the Fixed Income Search screen. Include "Is Defaulted" as a search field. Add other criteria as needed. 

Capital IQ (available in the Business Library): You can screen for companies that have defaulted on bond payments by following these steps:

  1. Select Screening in the top navigation menu
  2. Select Company Screening from the "Screening" menu
  3. Scroll down to the "Fixed Income Securities" box and click Features
  4. In the "Available Items" list choose one or more of the Default Type options that you are interested in and add it to the "Selected Items" list. When you are satisfied with the items you have selected, click Add Criteria.
  5. If you want to look at a specific date range, select Dates from the Fixed Income Securities box then scroll through the "Category" list to choose one of the Default Detail items (e.g. Default Date). Then select the time frame you want, and hit Add Criteria
  6. Add other criteria as needed (e.g. Industry Classifications, Geographic Locations, etc.)
  7. Click View Results
