S&P upgrades SK Global

S&P said it raised the long-term corporate credit rating on SK Global Chemical Co. Ltd. to BBB+ from BBB.

The outlook is stable.

The agency also said it upgraded SK Global after the agency upgraded SK Innovation Co. Ltd., the parent group of the company.

S&P said it believes SK Global's credit quality is tied to that of SK Innovation, given a view of SK Global as a core subsidiary of SK Innovation.

The upgrades reflect an expectation that the company is likely to maintain its prudent financial policy and solid operating cash flow over the next 12- to 24-months, which should keep its credit metrics solid, the agency explained.

The company is expected to maintain an adjusted ratio of debt-to-EBITDA ratio at about 1x during the period, S&P said.
