S&P Global Ratings revised down Zhejiang Expressway's (HKG:0576) stand-alone credit profile to bbb from bbb+ on July 15.
Concurrently, the rating agency affirmed the company's A long-term issuer credit rating, citing strong parental support from Zhejiang Communications Investment.
The outlook remains stable, reflecting expectations of sustained core status and government backing amidst substantial capital expenditure for toll road expansions and growing securities business risks.
Despite a downgrade of the stand-alone credit profile, S&P expects continued support for the company from the Zhejiang provincial government in case of financial distress.
