"Although H-P will maintain strong to leading positions in a number of product areas, the company's credit profile will remain weaker than previously expected over the intermediate term," Moody's senior vice president Richard Lane said in a statement. Moody's said the negative rating outlook is based on concerns about competitive pressures, and execution challenges. H-P shares were last trading up 3% to $12.74. The stock has shed 8% this month, and has fallen 51% year-to-date.

Gavin Grant made the comment on the BBC's Panorama programme, sparking outrage among farmers, who fear it could incite violence by anti-cull activists. But a spokeswoman said Mr Grant had "the full support of the RSPCA for advocating a position we have held for years". The animal charity said it unreservedly condemned any harassment, intimidation or threats of violence. "We have always insisted that those opposing the planned cull should do so by lawful and peaceful means only," added the spokeswoman. But David McDowell, the RSPCA's former a...
