06:13 AM EDT, 07/20/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Moody's issued SSAB (SSAB-A.ST, SSABAH.HE) a long-term issuer rating of Baa2, with a stable outlook, according to a Monday report. The rating decision accounts for the Swedish steelmaker's principal position across several markets and product categories, especially premium products, its small scale, limited operational diversification, conservative financial policies, and "substantial" excess cash balances, among other factors. The rating agency expects SSAB to weather weaker market conditions, while its earnings capitalize on growing protectionist measures in the US and Europe.
