Saks Global Enterprises has engaged prominent advisers, including Kirkland & Ellis, PJT Partners, and Bank of America Corp., to explore financing opportunities amid growing economic pressures on the US retail sector. According to information obtained from a person familiar with the matter, the company is seeking new funding sources to complement an already-pursued asset-based loan. These discussions aim to bolster liquidity at a time when external challenges, such as trade policy uncertainties, weigh heavily on the broader retail industry.
While representatives for the named advisers have not commented on the matter, the decision reflects Saks’ proactive approach to navigating financial strains. This move may signal broader financing trends as companies in the sector contend with shifting consumer behaviors and economic policies.
