DBRS confirms Bell Aliant

DBRS said it confirmed the short- and long-term ratings of Bell Aliant Regional Communications, LP at R-1 (low) and BBB (high), respectively, along with the preferred share rating at Pfd-3 (high).

The trend is stable.

The confirmation reflects a business risk profile that has been manageable, DBRS said.

The ratings also incorporate Bell Aliant's relatively stable financial risk profile, which remains slightly higher than its Canadian peers, but within an acceptable range, the agency said.
