Credit Trends: This Month In Credit: 2025 Data Companion


Credit Trends: Leisure, Media, And Consumer Products Have The Highest Downgrade Potential

The number of potential bond downgrades climbed to 641 as of December 2019 from 535 a year ago. The main reasons for the increase were higher leverage (due to looser monetary policy and subsequently low interest rates) and greater risk aversion at the low end of the ratings spectrum stemming from slow, but rising, economic uncertainty.

Utilities and financial institutions (which have relatively large numbers of rated issuers) lead potential bond downgrades, with 83 and 74, respectively. The media and entertainment and consumer products sectors closely follow, with 67 and 63 potential downgrades each--particularly concerning given their relatively low median ratings of 'B' and 'B+', respectively. Rating volatility is generally higher for lower ratings, so the low median rating and high number of speculative-grade issuers in the media and consumer products sectors continue to expose them to greater downgrade risks in the coming months.

The downgrades so far in 2019 (through Dec. 25) were highest among media and entertainment and consumer products, with 68 and 66 downgrades, respectively. Most of the downgrades were speculative-grade issuers, which have scarce defenses against the sectors' specific challenges.

Media and entertainment is facing increased competition and audience fragmentation, notably from new media, weighing on margins. Heavy investments in original content, aiming to differentiate services and increase subscribers, have added further pressure on margins, and we expect this trend to continue (see "Industry Top Trends 2020: Media And Entertainment," Nov. 19, 2019).

For the consumers sector, rating trends have become more negative, especially for the lowest-rated speculative-grade companies, which suffer from unsustainable capital structures and weak operating performance. Downgrades among these issuers can intensify if operating performance translate into rising liquidity constraints (see "Industry Top Trends 2020: Consumer Products," Nov. 19, 2019).

Overall, downgrades since our last report total 81. U.S.-based issuers accounted for 49 of the downgrades, followed by 15 in Europe.

Negative Bias Indicates Increased Downgrade Potential

The negative bias--the proportion of issuers with negative outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications--among 16 of the 19 sectors has widened over the past 12 months (see chart 3). The rise in negative bias was highest in the oil and gas sector--to 29.1% (up by 10.2% from December 2018)--due to oil price volatility. The retail and restaurants, media and entertainment, and consumer products sectors follow at 27.7%, 24.7%, and 24.2%, respectively.

The health care sector reported the second-highest rise in negative bias, up by 7.7% since last year to 22.6%. Historically, the oil and gas and health care sectors face comparatively high downgrade risks (see chart 5). We expect downgrades to continue outpacing upgrades in health care as disruption in the industry should accelerate. The main reasons are the continued drive for lower pricing and more transparency, rising debt leverage due to mergers and acquisitions, and opioid-related litigation (see "Industry Top Trends 2020: Health Care," Nov. 19, 2019).

Leisure is the hardest hit subsector in media and entertainment. The negative bias for leisure equipment is 58% and for leisure operators is 31%--both above their 2019 averages. The leisure sector has seen its negative bias increase since 2018. Issuance rated 'B-' and below has increased to its highest amount since 2012 (see "Media And Leisure Companies Lead A Rise In Weakest Links," Dec. 3, 2019). The negative bias in publishing and printing widened to 36%, following the sector's recent trend.

Slowing global GDP growth and the risk of recession weigh on consumer products and retail. Within consumer products, food products have the highest share of issuers with negative bias, at more than 30%. Changing consumer preferences and intense cost competition weigh on margins. Issuers in the textile and apparel sectors, as well as home furnishings, also have a negative bias above 30%.

Changes In Potential Downgrades

The total number of potential downgrades with negative outlooks has increased somewhat, to 568 in December from 541 in October, while the number of issuers with ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications has increased to 73 from 65.

Since our last report, we removed 99 issuers from the list of potential downgrades. Of these, we removed 38 after the ratings were lowered with revisions to the outlook or CreditWatch status, and we removed 34 due to revisions to their outlook or CreditWatch status without an accompanying rating change (see table 1). U.S.-based issuers accounted for 56 of these removals. By sector, the consumer products and utilities sectors had the highest number of removals, with 13 and 10, respectively.

We added 134 potential downgrades to the list since November. We added 115 because S&P Global Ratings revised their outlooks to negative or placed the ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications (see table 2). By region, U.S.-based issuers were almost 52% of these additions.

Appendix: Potential Bond Downgrades As Predictors Of Rating Behaviors

Potential downgrades are issuers rated 'AAA' to 'B-' by S&P Global Ratings with either negative outlooks or ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications. We monitor potential downgrades because they are the most likely to be downgraded in the short to medium term, and their aggregate number indicates the direction of potential rating changes. Timely and ongoing surveillance of issuers at risk of being downgraded can be valuable to investors in their sector credit-allocation process as well as in hedging against potential capital losses arising from a downgrade.

S&P Global Ratings assigns a negative or positive outlook or places a rating on CreditWatch when it expects a rating may change within two years. The CreditWatch status indicates the potential direction of a credit rating change, depending on identifiable events and short-term trends, and is typically resolved within 90 days. An outlook indicates the potential direction of a credit rating change over the intermediate to long term, generally within six months to two years (see "CreditWatch Placements And Outlooks Continue To Foreshadow Ratings Behavior," Dec. 13, 2016).

Investors and other market participants who try to anticipate rating actions can use these indicators as valuable predictors of ratings behavior. A developing outlook means S&P Global Ratings may either raise or lower the rating, and a negative outlook or ratings on CreditWatch negative are good leading indicators of downgrades.
