Moody's: BB&T outlook negative

Moody's Investors Service said it affirmed BB&T Corp.'s Aa3 senior debt rating and changed the outlook to negative from stable.

The outlook change reflects the potential that BB&T's sizable real estate portfolio, which is weighted toward the better-performing states of North Carolina and Virginia, could experience greater asset quality challenges as those economies deteriorate, according to the agency.
