Altice's situation? A textbook case of corporate debt gone wild. This telecom giant is drowning in obligations, yet one shareholder maintains an iron grip—and their debt playbook is brutal, no question. What's worse? Creditors are getting squeezed harder than ever lately. It's a masterclass in aggressive financial engineering, but at what cost? The power dynamics here are fascinating. One entity calling all the shots while lenders watch their positions deteriorate. Classic conflict between equity control and debt sustainability.
