Egan-Jones: Apple's AA+ Bonds Lose Half Value Despite Strong Credit

New York – September 03, 2026 -- Egan-Jones Ratings Co. has published an analysis showing how a fixed income investor can select a top-tier issuer, complete rigorous due diligence, and still lose roughly half of a position's value.

Apple's 2060 notes have fallen from par to about 51 cents on the dollar

The commentary centers on Apple's 2.55 percent senior notes due 2060, issued in August 2020 at approximately par.
