S&P trims BMW, Daimler ratings, cuts Volkswagen view

S&P said it took rating actions on three Germany-based automakers.

S&P lowered its long-term issuer credit ratings on BMW AG to A from A+ and affirmed the A-1 short-term issuer credit ratings.

S&P also lowered the long-term issuer credit ratings on Daimler AG to BBB+ from A- and affirmed the A-2 short-term issuer credit ratings.

Separately, the agency revised its outlook on Volkswagen AG to negative from stable and affirmed the BBB+/A-2 long- and short-term issuer credit ratings.

“We expect all three entities to see a steep decline in revenue and cash flow this year due to weak demand, especially in Europe, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions imposed by governments to reduce contagion risk,” S&P said in a news release.
