Moody's upgrade Tata Motors' ratings by two notches, keeps outlook positive

Moody's Ratings on Wednesday said it has upgraded Tata Motors Ltd's corporate family rating by two notches to Ba1 from Ba3 citing sound governance practices, particularly the company's creditor-friendly financial policies, track record and management prudence. The ratings agency also said it has upgraded Tata Motors Ltd's (TML) senior unsecured instruments' ratings to Ba1 from Ba3. As per Moody's obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk. Moody's said in a statement that it has also maintained the positive outlook on all ratings. "TML's two-notch rating upgrade with a positive outlook follows the company's sustained track record in achieving revenue growth, improving profitability and reducing debt using its large free cash flow despite its elevated capital expenditure to refresh its products," Moody's Ratings Senior Vice President Kaustubh Chaubal said. The latest rating action considers the impact of TML's sound ...

Capital requirements will remain high for Indian companies: Moody's

Moody's Ratings on Thursday said capital requirements will remain high for Indian corporates as they go in for capacity expansion and inorganic growth spending. Moody's estimates that 16 of the 23 rated companies will require USD 70-100 billion of funding annually in the next two years for growth spending, refinancing requirements and shareholder payments. While improving domestic liquidity and companies' internal cash flows can cover a large portion of their capital needs, offshore funding will remain an important funding channel, it said. "Capacity expansion, inorganic growth spending, refinancing and working capital needs, along with shareholder payments, will keep capital requirements high for nonfinancial corporates in India," Moody's Ratings said in a statement. It said capital spending by non-financial corporates will remain high as they expand their capacities to cater to the strong consumption growth expected in the country, at a time when their capacity utilization is ...

Moody's affirms 'Ba3' rating to Tata Motors, positive outlook post demerger

Rating agency Moody's on Wednesday said it has affirmed Tata Motors' Ba3 corporate family rating while maintaining a positive outlook on all ratings. Concurrently, Moody's has also affirmed Tata Motors Ltd's (TML) Ba3 senior unsecured instrument ratings, Moody's Investors Service said in a statement. As per Moody's obligations rated 'Ba' are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to substantial credit risk with the modifier 3 indicating a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. "Moody's has also maintained a positive outlook on all ratings," it added. The rating affirmation follows TML's announcement earlier this week that its board of directors have agreed in principle the demerger of its operations into two separate listed companies for commercial vehicles (CVs) and passenger vehicles (PVs), respectively, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, it said. "While the demerger would result in TML's remaining operations comprising only CVs, the

Moody's affirms Yes Bank's ratings, financial performance to remain stable

Moody's Investors Service on Friday said it has affirmed Yes Bank's ratings on the back of expectation that its financial performance will remain stable over the next 12-18 months. The long-term foreign and local currency bank deposit ratings and foreign currency issuer rating has been affirmed at 'Ba3', with a stable outlook. "The rating affirmation and stable outlook is driven by the improvement in India's macro profile to 'moderate+' from 'moderate', along with Moody's expectation that Yes Bank's financial performance will remain stable over the next 12-18 months," Moody's said in a statement. The agency expects Yes Bank's asset quality to be stable as the bulk of its legacy problem assets have been resolved, while India's good economic momentum will support the performance of its newly originated loans. The bank's gross non-performing loan ratio declined to 2.2 per cent at the end of March 2023 from 13.9 per cent a year earlier, following its sale of non-performing loans (NPL)
