Assess Your Rating Outcome before Implementing Your Plan
For organizations that are considering various strategic or financial initiatives—mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, new debt structures or other transactions that could impact their credit rating.
Standard & Poor's Rating Evaluation Service (RES) provides a company, government, or public sector entity with a confidential, indicative credit rating based on a hypothetical scenario.
RES is a core component of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. It involves the same fundamental, independent and objective credit analysis that is applied to any of our credit ratings.
Benefits

Helps you gauge the ratings impact among alternative scenarios.
Enables you to incorporate this feedback directly into your decision-making process.
When your new initiative is made public, RES can help eliminate ratings uncertainty about the implications of your decision.
