			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In normal times, you&#8217;d probably love to land a contract with a big company with a well-recognized name like CBS, Hertz or Goodyear, but right now, watch out: <span id="more-3635"></span></p>
<p>These companies are featured on a list of 20 corporations with marketing capitalization of $1 billion or more that have the highest probability of declaring bankruptcy in the next year, says a release by <a title="list of 20 companies by Audit Integrity" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS114031+16-Sep-2009+BW20090916" target="_blank">Audit Integrity. </a></p>
<p>&#8220;Evidence shows that bankruptcy filings tend to lag after an economic downturn so it&#8217;s extremely important that investors and those concerned with the risks around corporate failure mitigate their exposure to companies likely to collapse,&#8221; said Jack Zwingli, CEO of <a href="http://www.AuditIntegrity.com">Audit Integrity</a>. &#8220;Market volatility and sudden downturns such as we have been experiencing must be factored into bankruptcy risk.&#8221;</p>
<p>Which companies are at risk? Audit Integrity says:</p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.</li>
<li>Amkor Technology, Inc.</li>
<li>AMR Corporation</li>
<li>Apartment Investment and Management Co.</li>
<li>CBS Corporation</li>
<li>Continental Airlines, Inc.</li>
<li>Federal-Mogul Corporation</li>
<li>Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.</li>
<li>Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc.</li>
<li>Las Vegas Sands Corp.</li>
<li>Liberty Media Corporation (Capital)</li>
<li>Macy&#8217;s, Inc.</li>
<li>Mylan Inc.</li>
<li>Oshkosh Corporation</li>
<li>Redwood Trust, Inc.</li>
<li>Rite Aid Corporation</li>
<li>Sirius XM Radio Inc.</li>
<li>Sprint Nextel Corporation</li>
<li>Textron Inc.</li>
<li>The Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Company</li>
</ul>
<p>To see which companies were the worst off on this list, experts from the <a title="companies at risk of bankruptcy" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/336235/Ten-Big-Companies-That-Are-Veering-Toward-Bankruptcy?tickers=AMD,LVS,S,M,GT,MYL,HTZ" target="_blank">BusinessInsider</a> took Audit Integrity&#8217;s list and removed any company with a market cap under $3 billion.</p>
<p>They then ranked the remaining names by a simple measure of the market&#8217;s perceived bankruptcy risk &#8211; Market Cap (MC) divided by Enterprise Value (EV).</p>
<p>&#8220;The less MC vs. EV, the less residual shareholders&#8217; value (above what debt holders can claim) the market is pricing-in for the company. Thus a lower MC/EV means the market thinks the company is more likely to go bankrupt.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hertz topped <a title="10 big companies veeering towards bankruptcy" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/article/336235/Ten-Big-Companies-That-Are-Veering-Toward-Bankruptcy?tickers=AMD,LVS,S,M,GT,MYL,HTZ8" target="_blank"> the list</a>.</p>
