S&P views General Dynamics positively
S&P said it revised its outlook for General Dynamics Corp. to positive from stable and affirmed the A- long-term issuer rating.
“GD's credit metrics will likely be strong for the rating in 2023 and 2024. The company is benefiting from strong demand across its segments, including for business jets and defense products. Revenue growth supports robust cash flow, which, coupled with recent debt reduction, results in improved credit measures. We forecast funds from operations (FFO) to debt of 40%-44% and free operating cash flow to debt of (FOCF) of 34%-38%. The improvement comes despite a number for headwinds,” S&P said in a press release.
The agency said it expects GD’s credit measures to remain strong for the rating, reflecting recent debt repayment, increasing free operating cash flow, and moderate financial policies.
