S&P’s Schineller Publishes First U.S. Rating as Lead Analyst

Standard & Poor’s Lisa Schineller published her first credit-rating report on U.S. sovereign debt since assuming the role as lead analyst. It’s a position that became a lot higher profile after the U.S. lost its AAA ranking.

Schineller took over the primary-analyst position from Marie Cavanaugh, who retired in January, according to Washington-based S&P spokesman David Wargin. The company affirmed the U.S. rating today at AA+ with a stable outlook.
