What is a credit rating?

A credit rating is an evaluation of the creditworthiness of a borrower, indicating the likelihood that they will repay their debt obligations. Ratings are typically assigned by credit rating agencies like Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch.

How is a credit rating determined?

Credit ratings are determined by analyzing a borrower’s financial health, including factors like debt levels, income, assets, market conditions, and the ability to repay debt. Agencies use quantitative and qualitative analysis to assign ratings.

What are the different types of credit ratings?

Credit ratings are typically assigned using letter grades, such as AAA, AA, A, BBB, or lower. Ratings are classified into investment-grade (e.g., AAA, AA, A) and non-investment-grade or "junk" bonds (e.g., BB, B).
