Fitch revises MAS outlook to stable
Fitch Ratings said it revised the outlook on MAS plc to stable from positive and affirmed the long-term issuer default rating at BB. The agency also affirmed MAS' senior unsecured rating and MAS Securities BV's 300 million senior unsecured bond, which is guaranteed by MAS, at BB/RR4.
The revision of the outlook reflects concerns over the availability and costs for non-investment-grade bonds in the real estate sector. This has led MAS to revise its financial strategy. To better position the company to meet its medium-term financial obligations, especially its 300 million bond maturing in May 2026, it has suspended dividends, sourced new secured bank debt and halted new residential developments, Fitch said in a press release.
