Its pretty simple: Their businesses were built when it was cheap to borrow money. The pandemic caused large inflation. In response feds all around the world have greatly increased prime interest rates. Now their 'run large deficits to expand' business model is more expensive and they need to compete against increasingly valuable bonds as a competing source of investment. All of this means they need to aggressively chase improved profitability.
