Twitter's Debt Assigned 'Junk' Status
Is anyone really surprised by this news?
US ratings agency Standard & Poor's has given the debt of social media giant Twitter the rating "junk". S&P said Twitter's $1.8bn (£1.1bn) September debt issue - IOUs sold to investors in return for interest - were worthy of a "speculative" rating of BB-, three notches below investment grade.
