S&P Reaffirms Con-way Investment Grade Rating

Stock quotes in this article: CNW  

NEW YORK (AP) — Ratings agency Standard & Poor's affirmed its BBB- rating for Con-way Inc. on Monday, but suggested that weak demand and competitive prices will continue to hurt the trucking company's earnings and credit standing.

S&P also removed the company from immediate watch for a downgrade.

But the agency said its ratings outlook is negative as trucking industry demand remains weak, despite Con-way's debt reduction and cost saving measures.

BBB- is the lowest level of investment grade ratings.

Shares closed down $1.92, or 4.2 percent, at $42.22.
