Moody's has assigned a Baa1 long-term issuer rating with Stable outlook to Larsen & Toubro, placing the company two notches above India's sovereign Baa3 rating. The same Baa1 rating was also given to wholly owned subsidiary Hydrocarbon Saudi Company LLC. Baa1 is an investment-grade rating reflecting strong capacity to meet financial commitments and low credit risk. The Stable outlook is based on expectations of continued fiscal discipline and healthy margins as high-margin EPC projects in West Asia scale up.
Positive for shareholders. Investment-grade rating above sovereign grade signals strong credit profile, likely lowering borrowing costs and boosting investor confidence.
