S&P Considers High-Grade Rating for EA Bonds

S&P Global Ratings is reportedly considering assigning a high-grade rating to $1.5 billion worth of Electronic Arts (EA) bonds. Bloomberg posted on X that this potential move could prevent debt investors from accessing a lucrative buyout premium. The decision by S&P could significantly impact the financial strategies of investors involved with EA bonds. The high-grade rating would indicate a lower risk of default, potentially affecting the bonds' attractiveness in the market. This development comes as investors closely monitor the credit ratings of major corporations, which can influence investment decisions and market dynamics.
