Key Terms
investment grade credit ratingsfinancial
A graded label assigned by credit agencies that indicates a borrower’s ability to repay debt, with “investment grade” meaning relatively low risk of default. Investors treat it like a safety score—similar to checking a car’s reliability before buying—because higher ratings usually mean steadier income and lower chance of losing principal, affecting interest rates, portfolio choices, and regulatory or fund eligibility.
long-term issuer default ratingfinancial
A long-term issuer default rating is a credit agency’s quick summary of how likely a company or government is to fail to pay its long-term debts, similar to a personal credit score but for an organization. Investors use it as a shortcut to judge risk: lower ratings signal higher chance of missed payments and usually mean higher borrowing costs and more volatile bond values, affecting expected returns and portfolio safety.
bbb-financial
A BBB- rating is a credit quality grade indicating the issuer’s ability to repay debt is adequate but sits at the lower end of 'investment grade.' Think of it like a car that runs reliably now but shows signs of wear that could cause trouble in bad weather; investors demand higher interest for that added risk and some conservative funds or rules may avoid these bonds, so the rating directly affects borrowing costs and market demand.
stable outlookfinancial
A stable outlook is a credit-rating agency’s view that a company’s credit rating is unlikely to change over the medium term, indicating expected steadiness in its financial condition and ability to meet obligations. For investors it matters because a stable outlook signals lower likelihood of sudden changes to borrowing costs, dividend capacity or default risk—like a calm weather forecast, it helps set expectations about near-term risk and return.
