Constructive signals after the release

  • Refinancing needs and active credit markets can support ratings demand.
  • Recurring data, research and workflow products can compound revenue.
  • Demand for credit, climate and supply-chain insight can broaden use cases.

Risks that still need monitoring

  • Issuance cycle

    Market closures or lower refinancing can reduce transaction ratings revenue.
