Want to understand how credit ratings actually affect your company’s financial decisions?

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we unpack how credit ratings from agencies like Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch impact everything from bond yields and stock prices to capital structure decisions.

Learn how companies like Ford, Apple, Kraft Heinz, and Netflix responded to downgrades, upgrades, and rating watchlists—and how finance teams manage their credit profile through strategy, communication, and capital discipline.
