S&P lowers Stater Bros. view to negative

Standard & Poor's said it revised the outlook for Stater Bros. Holdings Inc. to negative from stable. The BB- corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings were affirmed.

S&P said this action reflects a heightened competitive environment that will make it more difficult for the supermarket chain to improve its credit metrics. As a result of the competitive environment, credit metrics are not anticipated to strengthen significantly in the near term, S&P said.
