S&P lowers Saudi Telecom view to negative
Standard & Poor’s said it revised the outlook on Saudi Telecom Co. to negative from stable.
The agency also said it affirmed the company’s A+ long-term and A-1 short-term corporate credit ratings.
The outlook revision follows a similar rating action on Saudi Arabia, S&P said.
The negative outlook reflects the negative outlook on Saudi Arabia’s long-term sovereign rating, S&P said.
The company’s stand-alone credit profile remains at A+, owing to the company’s very low leverage and strong market position, profitability and liquidity, the agency said.
The ratings also consider its strong position in Saudi Arabia’s telecom market, S&P said.
