Noble Group - OCBC Investment 2016-01-08: S&P cuts credit rating; Fitch affirms rating NOBLE GROUP LIMITED N21.SI 


Noble: S&P cuts credit rating; Fitch affirms rating 

  • Rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) has cut its investment credit rating on Noble Group Ltd to junk yesterday, just a week after Moody's downgrade. 
  • S&P noted that "the current depressed commodities markets and heightened risk aversion by lenders could complicate the company's fund raising plans for the next few months." 
  • However, Noble said that the downgrade is not expected to have a material impact on its operations, noting that the increased collateral calls have been immaterial and below the previously indicated range of US$100-200m. 
  • Management also highlighted that Fitch has affirmed Noble’s rating. 
  • We currently have a HOLD on the stock with a fair value of S$0.44.
