S&P cuts D.R. Horton, Pulte debt into junk territory

NEW YORK, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Standard & Poor's on Friday cuts its ratings on D.R. Horton Inc (DHI.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Pulte Homes Inc (PHM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) into junk territory, citing the vulnerability of the home builders to the deteriorating housing market and macroeconomic conditions.

Both builders were cut one notch to "BB-plus," one level below investment grade, from "BBB-minus." The outlook for both companies is negative, indicating an additional cut is likely over the next two years.
