Abstract

The common stock price response to the announcement by Standard and Poor of CreditWatch placement and commercial paper re-ratings is examined. Results indicate a negative stock price response to negative placements on the CreditWatch list and to commercial paper rating reductions. A cross-sectional model is estimated to identify firm characteristics associated with the stock market response. Copyright 1996 by MIT Press.
