Saudi-listed firms with credit ratings in Q1 2026
AI Summary
Content Summary: 
Tadawul trading screen
As many as 38 TASI-listed companies and nine Nomu-listed firms held credit ratings from specialized agencies in Q1 2026, according to data compiled by Argaam.
Credit ratings are a key indicator of an issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations on time. They are widely used to assess the creditworthiness of corporates, sovereigns, and issuers of financial instruments.
These ratings are assigned by global agencies such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Fitch, and Moody’s, alongside local agencies, most notably Financial Analytics (RATING) and Tassnief.
Rating agencies typically evaluate risks associated with corporate debt issuances, with the issuer’s capacity to service interest and principal payments forming the primary benchmark underpinning final credit ratings.

Fitch |
AAA |
Lowest expected level of default risk, allocated only in cases of exceptional ability to meet financial obligations, and this ability is unlikely to be negatively affected by anticipated events |
|
|
AA |
Low projections for default risk, indicating a very strong ability to meet financial obligations. This ability is not highly susceptible to anticipated events |
||
|
A |
With low default risk expectations and a strong ability to meet financial obligations, this ability may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions compared to higher ratings |
||
|
BBB |
Risk of default is currently low, and the ability to meet financial obligations is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are likely to weaken this ability |
||
|
BB |
High exposure to default risk, especially if adverse changes occur in business or economic conditions over time; however, there is business or financial flexibility to support the servicing of financial obligations |
||
|
B |
Significant risk of default, but the margin of safety remains limited. Financial obligations are currently being met, but the ability to continue repaying is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment |
||
|
CCC |
Low margin of safety; default is a possibility |
||
|
CC |
Some kind of default seems likely |
||
|
C |
Default or similar process has begun, or in the case of a closed financing instrument, the ability to pay has been irreversibly weakened |
||
|

||
|
D |
