Pepco Group NVMoody's upgrades Pepco group's CFR to Baa2 with stable outlook
Moody's rating agency has upgraded listed retailer Pepco Group N.V.'s (the Pepco group or the company) corporate family rating (CFR) to Ba2 from Ba3 and its probability of default rating (PDR) to Ba2-PD from Ba3-PD, Moody's announced in a statement. The outlook remains stable.
"The upgrade of the Pepco group's CFR to Ba2 reflects the successful refinancing of the company's debt facilities in October 2025 resulting in interest savings and an improved debt maturity profile, as well as the disposal of the loss-making Poundland banner in June 2025 resulting in a simplification of the Pepco group's structure and improvements in profitability and cash flow generation," said Sebastien Cieniewski, Moody's Ratings Vice President – Senior Credit Officer and lead analyst for the Pepco group, quoted in the statement.
