Investing.com -- Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) announced today that it has adjusted the rating outlooks for MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MTR Corporation (C.I.) Limited, from negative to stable. This decision mirrors a similar adjustment made to the Government of Hong Kong SAR, China’s Aa3 rating, which was announced on May 27, 2025.

In addition to the outlook adjustment, Moody’s affirmed several ratings for both entities. For MTRC, this included the Aa3 issuer and senior unsecured ratings, the (P)Aa3 senior unsecured medium-term note (MTN) program ratings and senior unsecured shelf rating, and the (P)P-1 other short-term rating. Moody’s also confirmed MTRC’s a2 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA).

For MTR Corporation (C.I.) Limited, Moody’s affirmed the Aa3 backed senior unsecured rating, (P)Aa3 backed senior unsecured MTN program ratings, and the (P)P-1 backed other short-term rating. The senior unsecured notes issued under the company’s MTN program are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by MTRC.

These rating affirmations and the outlook adjustments reflect Moody’s assessment of the creditworthiness of both MTRC and its subsidiary, as well as the Government of Hong Kong SAR, China.
