Join us for the U.S. Media & Telecommunications Leveraged Finance Spotlight webinar. This webinar will bring together five credit analysts to discuss six speculative-grade telecommunications and media issuers.
This session will give credit analysts and leveraged loan investors an understanding of S&P's rating process and valuable practitioner insight into its application. We will focus on companies assigned a 'B' or 'B-' credit rating by S&P Global Ratings, widely held within CLOs, and have generated the most investor inquiries. We will also discuss common leveraged finance credit themes within different industry sectors.
