Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bond ratings are typically published by private bond-rating agencies such as Moody's, Standard & Poor's, and Fitch Ratings. These agencies evaluate the creditworthiness of bond issuers and assign ratings based on factors such as financial performance, debt levels, and industry trends. The ratings are meant to provide investors with an assessment of the risk associated with purchasing a particular bond.
