''Credit ratings - outlook.''


Negative goodwill may arise in an acquisition.
A credit rating outlook is a formal indication by a credit rating agency that it anticipates a change in a particular credit rating at some time in the foreseeable future.


Where the total value of net assets acquired is greater than the total purchase price paid, the difference represents a discount or negative goodwill.
Negative outlook means that a rating may be lowered.
