S&P upgrades Cummins to A+

Standard & Poor's said it raised its ratings on Cummins Inc., including the corporate credit rating to A+ from A.

The outlook on the corporate credit rating is stable.

"The upgrade reflects our expectation that the company will maintain a ratio of funds from operations (FFO) to debt of greater than 60% and debt to EBITDA of less and 1.5x – notwithstanding its exposure to cyclical markets," S&P credit analyst Sol Samson said in a news release.

"By transforming its cost structure over the last decade, diversifying geographically, and following a very cautious financial policy, management has insulated the company, to the extent possible, from extreme cyclical impacts."
