Sony’s credit rating heads toward junk pile

“Japanese tech mega-corporations, including Panasonic and Sony, aren’t doing too well.  After Sharp posted its most recent loss, its financial rating fell to junk status, and the company is now seeking a government bailout. Panasonic was also hit with a near-junk rating by Fitch earlier this month, after it posted a loss 30 times larger than analysts had estimated.  Now, Sony—the biggest of Japan’s big dogs—can’t escape the bad news either. On Friday, Moody’s downgraded Sony’s long-term debt rating from Baa2 to Baa3, one notch above junk status.”
