Lehman už i rating ide dolu - Akcie ERSTE BANK

Lehman rating outlook negative on loss -Moody'sMon Jun 9, 2008 7:37am EDT LONDON, June 9 (Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service said it changed its rating outlook on Lehman Brothers (LEH.N: Quote, Profile, Research) to "negative" from "stable" after the investment bank said it expected to lose $2.8 billion in the second quarter.Moody's affirmed Lehman's senior debt rating at A1. A "negative" outlook means the rating may move downward over the next 12 to 18 months, but the agency is not actively considering a downgrade.Moody's said it welcomed Lehman's plans to raise $6 billion in capital as a positive step both to repair its balance sheet and to boost investor confidence, but it had concerns over risk management decisions made that had led to losses on hedges."Any additional net valuation marks that result in firm-wide losses in coming quarters would raise serious concerns about the effectiveness of Lehman's risk management and may create additional market unease about the firm, potentially weakening its franchise," the ratings agency said."As such, additional firm-wide losses would likely result in a downward rating action."For Moody's full statement, please double click on [ID:nWLA4541].(Reporting by Richard Barley)
