S&P lowers Lazard

S&P said it downgraded Lazard Group LLC and its unsecured debt ratings to BBB+ from A-.

Lazard finished 2019 with leverage slightly above 1.5x, S&P’s downside trigger for the company, and it predicts lower cash flow generation will lead the company to end 2020 with leverage above that threshold.

The outlook is stable.
