This iconic American brand’s debt may be on the verge of junk status



Published:

S&P Global Ratings said late Wednesday it placed its credit ratings on Harley-Davidson

HOG on a negative watch. That means S&P could cut its ratings on the company’s bonds in the near future. The agency rates Harley-Davidson’s debt BBB-, the last rung of investment grade.
