Credit Ratings as used by Gießen Financial Services
Rating | Comments |
AAA | Prime. Extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. |
AA+ AA AA- | High grade. Very strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. Susceptibility to long-term risks seems somewhat greater. |
A+ A A- | Upper medium grade. Strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. Somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. |
BBB+ BBB BBB- | Lower medium grade. Adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. Adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obliger to meet its financial commitments. |
BB+ BB BB- | Non-investment grade speculative. Less vulnerable in the near term than other lower-rated obliger. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. |
B+ B B- | Highly speculative. More vulnerable than the obliger rated 'BB', but the obliger currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obliger's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments. |
CCC CC | Substantial risks. Extremely speculative. The obliger is currently highly vulnerable. |
C | In default with little prospect for recovery. |
D | In default. |
