Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Credit-rating affirmations often compress yield-cost risks and support valuation, particularly for insurers with solid BCAR and diversified P&C franchises. The impact tends to be modest without an upgrade; however, persistent positive ratings history can reduce funding costs and support debt capacity over time, potentially lifting multiple or valuation multiples modestly.
