Ya no se salva nadie de esta lacra de la clasificacion de deuda ahora le toca a Nokia con un BB+ , os dejo la noticia original en ingles por que ya no quiero ver nada de deudas que me entra el sarpullido.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Unimpressed with Nokia's turnaround progress,
Fitch Ratings downgraded the Finnish company's debt to junk status on
Tuesday.
Nokia's (NOK)
debt rating was lowered to BB+ from the lowest "investment grade"
rating of BBB-. The credit rating agency also gave Nokia a long-term
outlook of "negative," meaning the company is at risk of having its debt
downgraded again.
At issue was Nokia's weak first quarter financial performance. Despite selling 2 million of its new Lumia smartphones,
Nokia said that it lost money in its devices business over the first
quarter due to ramped up competition across the globe. The company is
struggling to keep pace with Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) as well as the army of smartphone companies selling devices that run on Google's (GOOG, Fortune 500) Android.
Fitch
cited "the deterioration in the company's core devices and services
division" in the first quarter as the primary reason for the downgrade.
The credit rater also said it was concerned by Nokia's forecast that it
would suffer even bigger operating losses in the current quarter.
Nokia contends that it is a company in transition, and it will take time to turn the ship around.
The
primary part of that turnaround began a year ago, when CEO Stephen Elop
announced that Nokia would ditch its struggling home-grown operating
system and start shipping phones with Microsoft's (MSFT, Fortune 500) Windows Phone OS.
The Lumia lineup, released in Europe last fall and in the United States
this month, is the first real test of that partnership.
