-- Fitch on Tuesday affirmed the BBB+ long-term issuer default rating of Repsol (REP.MC), citing the energy company's very low EBITDA net leverage.
The rating agency said it expects the metric to remain below 1x until 2030 despite its conservative oil and gas price assumptions, substantial capex, and shareholder distributions. It also anticipates that the Spanish company will continue strong operations in its core oil and gas operations while sustaining investment in low-carbon initiatives.
The outlook on the rating is stable.
