CARE Ratings has downgraded Lokesh Machines Limited's credit ratings on its banking facilities. The long-term bank facilities rating was cut from CARE BBB (Negative) to CARE BBB- (Stable), while the short-term bank facilities rating was lowered from CARE A3+ to CARE A3. The long-term facility size was also reduced from Rs. 172.72 crore to Rs. 159.98 crore. The change in outlook from Negative to Stable suggests the immediate pressure may have eased, but the lower rating reflects weaker overall credit health. CARE BBB- remains the lowest investment-grade tier, so the company is not yet in junk territory.
Negative for shareholders — the downgrade signals a weaker credit profile, which could raise the company's future borrowing costs and indicates financial stress. Short-term lenders may also tighten terms, and the stock may see pressure due to reduced investor confidence.
