Why are bonds risky to a corporation?
When a company issues new bonds, it commits itself to pay out the coupon amount every year of the bond's life, whether business is booming or the firm is losing money. If the firm is unable to meet its obligation to bondholders in some year, bankruptcy may result. Stocks do not burden the company with any such risk, because the firm does not promise to pay stockholders any fixed amount.
