I love being the bearer of good news! S&P has raised Visteon’s credit rating from
a B- to a B+ after it dumped 23 factories onto a FoMoCo holding company on Saturday. As Martin King of Standard &
Poor’s said, “Visteon has shed some of its weakest business units — those generating large losses and absorbing
substantial cash flow — leaving it with a more competitively positioned and faster growing portfolio of products.”
While Visteon’s debt and its reliance on Ford still pose challenges, the crash diet takes quite a bit of, er, weight
off of Visteon’s shoulders.
