9y ago#1The market value of debt is always the present value of future receipts discounted at the investors required rate of return.
If the credit rating is reduced then investors will require a higher rate of return and therefore the market value will be lower.
More debit in a company always makes the company more risky and this is why the credit rating is reduced (and hence the yield increases).
