The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA' to 'D'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance. Fitch expects the global economy to evolve in line with Fitch's Global Economic Outlook forecasts. The principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.
Fitch collects available, but incomplete, financial and debt information from periodic government presentations. The data used was deemed sufficient for Fitch's rating purposes. Suriname has an ESG Relevance Score of '5' for Creditor Rights as willingness to service and repay debt is highly relevant to the rating and is a key rating driver with a high weight, as evident in Suriname's protracted debt default and restructuring process during Except for the matters discussed above, the highest level of ESG credit relevance, if present, is a score of '3'.
This means ESG issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on the entity ies , either due to their nature or to the way in which they are being managed by the entity ies. Multiple organizations provide sell-side research and rate securities with a buy, hold, or sell rating. A downgrade of stock would be moving the rating from a buy to a hold, or a hold to a sell. Debt has its rating system as well. The ratings agencies assign letter grades to debt, similar to letter grades earned in school.
When a bond is downgraded, it might move from an "A" rating to a "BBB" rating. A downgrade may be contrasted with an upgrade. Analysts place recommendations on securities to give their clients or investors a general idea of the expected performance of that security looking forward. These recommendations are adjusted when the basis behind the recommendation changes, such as the price of the stock or newly released data in the company's financial statements.
There are ratings agencies whose sole responsibility is to research debt issuers and assign ratings to the issuers' various types of debt. Sometimes bond portfolios are constrained as to the type of debt they can hold based upon the rating of the debt.
Debt rated "BBB" and above is considered investment grade. It can have severe effects on the price and prospects of a particular bond if it is downgraded from "BBB," which is investment grade, to "BB," which is below investment grade.
Any portfolio that is mandated only to hold investment-grade debt or above will no longer be able to hold that bond and the resulting selling may drive down the price of that bond. Bonds may be downgraded because of deteriorating fundamentals of the issuing company. An analyst may downgrade a stock from a buy to a sell after the issuing company releases information about a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into the company's operations. Stock may also be downgraded because of deteriorating fundamentals of the issuing company, or because the current marketplace or macro environment don't favor that company's line of business.
For equity and debt securities, a downgrade generally leads to more negative press. Behind the scenes, the biggest drawback to an upgrade is a higher cost of capital, for both debt and equity. A lower cost of capital translates into a lower discount rate, which leads to a higher valuation and firm valuation.
Similar to how an individual might be able to borrow at a cheaper interest rate after a credit score "upgrade," businesses can access the capital markets more often and at cheaper rates after a positive upgrade event - and downgrades have the opposite effect. Beyond an outright downgrade event, credit rating agencies and equity valuation shops both publish watchlist or similar lists indicating securities or companies prime for a downgrade.
Investors and creditors alike keep a close eye on potential directional changes to a security or business prospect. An example of an equity downgrade would be an analyst raising the investment rating for a particular stock or sector from "buy" to "hold. The deterioration of the GDP growth and volatility variables reflects a very substantial and unprecedented exogenous shock that has hit the vast majority of sovereigns, and Fitch believes that Malaysia has the capacity to absorb it without lasting effects on its long-term macroeconomic stability.
Fitch's SRM is the agency's proprietary multiple regression rating model that employs 18 variables based on three-year centred averages, including one year of forecasts, to produce a score equivalent to a LT FC IDR.
International scale credit ratings of Sovereigns, Public Finance and Infrastructure issuers have a best-case rating upgrade scenario defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction of three notches over a three-year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction of three notches over three years.
