Insights
S&P’s upgrade to raAA- improves Edenor’s perceived credit quality in Argentina.
Edenor reports that S&P National Ratings raised its issuer, issue, and Global Notes Program ratings from “raA+” to “raAA-” and adjusted the outlook from positive to stable. On the Argentine national scale, this typically indicates stronger capacity to meet financial commitments.
A higher national scale rating can support access to local capital markets and potentially lower funding costs, especially for the Global Notes Program mentioned. The shift to a stable outlook suggests S&P currently sees Edenor’s credit profile as more balanced, assuming operating and regulatory conditions remain consistent.
