Moody's may cut Bank of America's ratings
New York, January 11, 2008 -- Moody's Investors Service placed the A financial strength rating of Bank
of America, NA under review for possible downgrade along with the
credit ratings of its parent, Bank of America Corporation (BAC).
The bank's Aaa deposit rating is affirmed. All Prime-1
short term ratings are affirmed. These actions follow BAC's
announcement that the company will acquire Countrywide Financial for $4
billion in an all stock transaction.
According to Moody's, the review will focus on BAC's
ability and willingness to raise capital to support its balance sheet
after a number of sizable acquisitions including Countrywide.
Moody's said that the Countrywide transaction is detrimental to
BAC's capital position because the amount of equity being issued
by BAC is modest when related to total assets being acquired. The
company will also need to take a sizable restructuring charge in connection
with the acquisition. The rating agency added that BAC's
capital position is currently low and its ability to generate capital
through earnings is challenged as a result of a difficult operating environment.
This highlights the importance of BAC's raising external capital.
The transaction gives BAC a leading position in mortgage banking,
but presents challenges including integration, volatile mortgage
asset valuations, and potential litigation. Moody's
will consider these risks during its review.
Despite current market turmoil, BAC generates substantial earnings
from its powerful traditional banking franchise, and the bank's
liquidity is strong while the holding company has an ample cash position,
added Moody's.
