U.S. retains AA+ rating as S&P cites economic resilience
S&P: U.S. holds AA+ rating

The U.S. keeps its AA+ sovereign credit rating from S&P Global as the agency points to resilient economic conditions and steady government revenue collection. The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that the country's broad and diverse economy continues to support credit strength despite shifts in domestic and international policies.

Highlights

  • S&P Global affirmed the U.S. AA+ credit rating on Friday, citing economic resilience and strong fiscal revenue collection.
  • Solid tariff income and broad revenue buoyancy are expected to help mitigate the risk of fiscal slippage according to S&P.
  • S&P maintains a stable outlook, noting the strength of the diverse U.S. economy despite changing domestic and international policies.

Rating decision and fiscal support

As reported by Reuters, S&P Global in a statement on Friday affirms its AA+ credit rating for the U.S. and says economic resilience is supporting solid fiscal revenue collection.

S&P says broad revenue buoyancy, including solid tariff income, should help mitigate the risk of fiscal slippage. The agency keeps the outlook stable.

Implications for U.S. credit profile

S&P says the stable outlook incorporates its assessment of the strength of the diverse U.S. economy, even as domestic and international policies change.

The decision maintains the rating level S&P assigned after it became the first major ratings agency to cut the U.S. government's top-tier rating in 2011. The latest affirmation signals continuity in the agency's view of the country's underlying economic capacity and revenue base.

In our earlier report on Fitch’s affirmation of Bryan Medical Center’s AA- Issuer Default Rating with a Stable Outlook, we noted that the decision was driven by the health system’s dominant local market position, solid liquidity, and improving operating performance after a weaker FY22. The analysis also highlighted stronger balance-sheet metrics, manageable capital spending plans, and the key factors Fitch flagged that could pressure or support future rating actions.
