medium · Corporate Credit Analysis ratings
An analyst is evaluating a Senior Secured Term Loan for a BB rated company. The collateral is valued at 1.5× the loan amount. However, the analyst notes the presence of a 'PD floor' in the agency methodology.
What does this suggest about the final issue rating?
- The rating will be B because secured debt has higher volatility.
- The rating is capped at BB+ or BBB- regardless of recovery.
- The rating will be AAA because the recovery is certain.
- The rating will be the same as the ICR because the floor prevents uplift.
