Moody's downgrades Brunswick Corp

Article Abstract:

Brunswick Corp.'s announcement that it would take a $60 million charge against earnings to cover restructuring of operations, has earned it a much lower rating from Moody's Investors Service. Moody's has downgraded its ratings on the marine engine and power boat builder from stable to negative. The financial services firm stated its worries over Brunswick's increased debt load stemming from recent debt-financed purchases and an expedite stock-repurchase program. Meanwhile, Brunswick's restructuring is designed to reduce costs and offset troubles caused by the financial crisis in Asia. The move centers on the firm's bowling operations, which covers 80% of the charge.
