■Types of Credit Ratings and Definitions of Rating Symbols (JCR)
(1)Long-term Issuer Rating
A plus (+) or minus (-) sign may be affixed to the rating symbols from AA to B to indicate relative standing within each of those rating scales.
(a) A Long-term Issuer Rating Scale enables comparison of the overall capacity of an obligor (issuer) to honor its entire financial obligations with such overall capacity of others.
(b) The same Definitions of Rating Symbols and Scales shall be applied to the Ability to Pay Insurance Claims Rating.
(2)Outlook
A Rating Outlook is JCR's opinion regarding the likely direction of an issuer rating or an ability to pay insurance claims rating in one or two years after determination of the rating. A Rating Outlook falls into the following five categories: Positive, Stable, Negative, Developing, or Multiple.
Positive means that a rating may be raised, while Negative means it may be lowered. Stable means that a rating is not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
In a few instances, Developing or Multiple Outlook is assigned. Developing means that a credit rating may be upgraded or downgraded. Multiple means that an issuer has multiple outlooks for its ratings when it is highly likely that a credit rating on individual bonds, bank loans, an issuer rating, etc. will be revised with different directions of rating.
Even in cases where a rating outlook is Positive, Negative, Developing, or Multiple for a credit rating, it does not mean that the credit rating will necessarily be changed and, in the same way, even in cases where a rating outlook is Stable, the credit rating may be changed without changing the outlook in advance.
