S&P rates C.R. Bard notes A

Standard & Poor's said it affirmed an A corporate credit rating on C.R. Bard Inc.

The agency also said it assigned an A rating to the company's proposed $500 million senior unsecured notes due 2018.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings reflect the company's strong business risk profile based on its well-established positions across several business segments, which provide diversity, S&P said.

Bard's modest financial risk profile features strong credit measures, allowing investment to keep pace with developing medical technology, the agency said.
