Fitch Assigns Gorilla Technology First-Time 'B-' Rating with Positive Outlook
Rhea-AI Summary
Gorilla Technology Group (NASDAQ: GRRR) announced that Fitch Ratings assigned the company a first-time Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of 'B-' with a Positive Outlook after reviewing its business, financial profile and growth strategy. Fitch highlighted Gorilla's role in the expanding AI infrastructure market in South and South-East Asia, where deployment is constrained by power and GPU capacity rather than demand.
Fitch also noted Gorilla's deleveraging potential as new data centre projects scale, stating that EBITDA growth has good visibility over the next few years and expecting dividends from project SPVs to begin flowing to the parent from 2029 or earlier. According to Gorilla, the public rating should broaden access to debt financing at both group and SPV level, diversify capital sources and support more efficient funding of its global AI infrastructure programme.

London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, IoT technology and data centres, Gorilla Technology Group Inc. ("Gorilla" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Fitch Ratings has assigned the Company a first-time Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of 'B-' with a Positive Outlook.
The rating follows an extensive review of Gorilla's business, financial profile and growth strategy. Fitch highlighted Gorilla's positioning within the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market in South & South-East Asia where it noted that "the constraint is not customer demand but access to deployable power and GPU capacity".
Fitch also recognised the Company's deleveraging potential as its new data centre projects scale, stating that "Deleveraging is supported by EBITDA growth with good visibility over the next few years." Fitch expects dividends from Gorilla's project SPVs to begin flowing to the parent from 2029 or potentially earlier as project-finance debt is repaid.
Gorilla believes the rating represents an important milestone in the continued development of its capital structure. A public credit rating provides lenders and institutional investors with an independent assessment of Gorilla's credit profile and supports the Company's ability to access a broader range of debt financing solutions at both Group and SPV level.
Over time, Gorilla believes this should help broaden its sources of capital, strengthen the resilience of its funding base and support more efficient financing of its global AI infrastructure programme.
Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology, commented: "As Gorilla invests billions of dollars into the infrastructure required for our next phase of growth, establishing an independent credit rating is an important step in broadening our access to global capital. Fitch's Positive Outlook reflects the significant earnings growth and deleveraging potential embedded in our strategy. We see this rating as another important building block as Gorilla scales into a leading AI infrastructure platform across Asia."
