Fitch affirms Atmos Energy

Fitch Ratings said it affirmed Atmos Energy Corp.'s issuer default rating at BBB and its senior unsecured debt rating at BBB+.

The short-term issuer default rating and $600 million commercial paper program are affirmed at F2.

The outlook remains stable.

Ratings reflect the scale, quality and geographic and regulatory diversity of Atmos' operations, according to the agency.

Ratings also recognize Atmos' efficient operations and effective practices in dealing with regulators across its multi-state service territory, Fitch said.
