From Balance Sheet to Bond Market: Financial Drivers of Ratings and Credit Spreads
We’ll examine how core financial metrics — such as leverage, interest coverage, cash flow, and liquidity — affect a company’s credit rating, and in turn, how those ratings correlate with credit spread levels across the investment-grade and high-yield spectrum
Corporate Treasurers and CFOs: this webinar will provide you with actionable insights to better understand credit risk and navigate today’s bond markets with confidence.
