DLR KREDIT IS RATED BY S&P GLOBAL RATINGS
DLR was first rated by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) in May 2012.
In May 2017, S&P raised DLR’s Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) to ‘A-‘, as DLR was granted an ALAC-uplift of +1. On October 23, 2019, S&P changed the outlook for DLR's ratings from positive to stable.
The change in outlook is due to S&P's assessment of sector trends with an increasing pressure on earnings. Thus, the change in outlook does not reflect DLR-specific conditions.
All DLR’s covered bonds (SDO and RO) have been rated ‘AAA’ since 2012.
