why does a company's stock price affect its ability to raise debt?
user
as jb hints, it is likely due to superior or improving, fundamentals. if the fundamentals of a company improve then its ability to repay loans improves. if its ability to repay improves then more sources of cash become willing to lend to the company. also if fundamentals are improving then more sources are willing to buy and/or hold the stock.
