Publication Date:May 02, 2008
Report Type:Commentary
Abstract:In Stress In Corporate America, we use three of our pre-existing research criteria—notably, weakest links, potential bond downgrades, and the distressed report—to identify and spotlight U.S. sectors that have the highest levels of credit stress. As of April 15, 2008, the consumer products, media and entertainment, and retail/restaurants sectors remain most susceptible to economic and credit-market turbulence. These sectors consistently lead risk in our lists of distressed companies (defined as speculative-grade companies with securities trading in excess of 1,000 basis points above U.S. Treasuries), weakest links (companies rated 'B-' or lower with either a negative outlook or on CreditWatch with negative implications), and potential bond downgrades (investment-grade or speculative-grade companies either a negative outlook or on CreditWatch with negative implications).
