Fitch Upgrades Xiaomi to BBB+ on Better EBITDA Generation

MT Newswires Live12-05 17:24

Fitch Ratings has raised Xiaomi's (HKG:1810) long-term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings to BBB+ from BBB, among other ratings, according to a recent release.

The rating action stems from the company's improved EBITDA generation due to its internet of things (IOT) and internet service businesses, as well as a further positive trajectory in electric vehicle (EV) profitability, Fitch said.

The company's solid EV execution and controlled financial stance anchor a robust financial profile, characterized by strong free cash flow and low EBITDA leverage, the rating agency said.

Segment diversification will also provide a buffer against the volatile smartphone business, Fitch said.

The rating agency expects the company to hold on to its leading position in the global smartphone market and increase its international footprint with offshore offerings in the IoT and EV markets.

Notable changes in the company's smartphone marker position, EV profitability, or leverage could prompt future rating actions.
