3.7.2026 14:09:49 CEST | Ørsted A/S | Investor News
Following a review of the business and financing needs going forward, Ørsted has, effective as of today, decided to discontinue the rating engagement with Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings.
Ørsted continues to be rated by Moody’s (rating: Baa2, negative outlook) and Fitch (rating: BBB, stable outlook). As part of this change, Fitch (Taiwan branch) has assigned Ørsted Wind Power TW Holding A/S and Ørsted A/S a rating of A+(twn), stable outlook.
Ørsted remains committed to a solid investment grade rating and funds from operations (FFO)/net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) above 30%. The FFO/NIBD reported in Q1 2026 quarterly results was approx. 42% and thus comfortably above this target. This decision has no implications for the financial outlook of the company.
