News:
The benchmark S&P 500 slipped 0.4% to close at 7,555.36
points, erasing a climb of as much as 0.5%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite
settled just under the flatline at 25,978.43 points,
after earlier advancing as much as 0.9%. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial
Average slumped 1.2% to conclude at 51,462.55 points, an about turn from a
rise of as much as 0.2%.
The Federal
Reserve on Wednesday hiked its key interest rate as widely
expected, marking the first tightening of monetary policy since July 2023.
Meanwhile, the central bank’s updated dot plot showed one more projected rate
hike for the year. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said the
decision was led by a strengthening U.S. economy, a lack of improvement in
summer inflation trends, and geopolitics, adding that he and his colleagues on
the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) agreed that broader financial
conditions were not restrictive enough. He again pushed back against providing
forward guidance and did not provide his own projections in the dot plot.
S&P Global Ratings upgraded Packaging Corp. of America (NYSE:PKG)
to ’BBB+’ from ’BBB’ on Wednesday, citing the company’s sustained leverage
below 2.0x despite its recent acquisition of Greif’s containerboard business.
The outlook remains stable.
Moody’s Ratings raised INNIO N.V.’s corporate family rating to Ba3 from
B1 on Wednesday and changed the outlook to positive from stable. The ratings
agency also upgraded INNIO’s probability of default rating to Ba3-PD from
B1-PD. The upgrade reflects INNIO’s commitment to more conservative financial
policies after its initial public offering and its strong operating
performance, according to Moody’s. The company listed approximately 14% of its
shares on NASDAQ:INNIO in June 2026 through a secondary offering that
did not provide new capital.
Moody’s Ratings upgraded Performance Food Group, Inc.’s (NYSE:PFGC)
senior unsecured notes rating to Ba3 from B1 on Monday. The ratings firm
affirmed the company’s Ba2 corporate family rating and Ba2-PD probability of
default rating. The speculative grade liquidity rating remains at SGL-2 with a
stable outlook.
BCB Bancorp
Inc (NASDAQ:BCBP) shares fell 20.6% in after-hours
trading Wednesday after the company announced an underwritten public offering
of common stock.
