S&P Highlights Risks for Virgin Mobile

This Site:en.yinlu.net Source:en.yinlu.net Writer: Time:2007-11-22
NEW YORK (AP) -- Standard & Poor's on Wednesday gave Virgin Mobile's corporate credit a low rating, noting the high degree of risk in the prepaid wireless phone business.

S&P assigned a 'B-' rating to the Warren, N.J.-based company's corporate credit and a 'CCC' rating to its bank loans. Both ratings are non-investment grade designations.

Despite strong brand recognition and nationwide coverage, S&P analyst Naveen Sarma stressed that the company is "constrained by a high degree of risk in a prepaid wireless phone business with little room for execution missteps."

Shares of Virgin Mobile USA Inc. fell 39 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $8.61 in midday trading.
