Standard & Poor’s downgraded General Electric’s credit rating on Tuesday, a day after the company announced the firing of its CEO and that it would take a $23 billion charge because of its power business.

In a statement Tuesday after the announcement by Moody’s, GE said it “has a sound liquidity position, including cash and operating credit lines. We remain committed to strengthening the balance sheet including deleveraging.”
