If a bond has a 7% nominal yield or coupon and was purchased at a premium of $103 ($1030), then your YTM will calculate lower because the 7% interest is only paid to the $1000 par. The $30 premium does not earn interest and is not redeemable at par. So, a 7% bond at a premium is not really yielding 7% in that example.
Bond ratings gauge a bond issuerâs financial ability to repay its promised principal and interest payments. Ratings are based on an analysis of the issuerâs financial condition and creditworthiness. In essence, the higher the rating, the more likely it is that a bondholder will receive his or her principal again when the bond matures. Credit rating agencies assess the risks of certain bonds, issuing grades that reflect the issuerâs ability to meet the promised principal and interest payments.
