Moody’s has rating categories, from Aaa to C. and S&P has 10 rating categories, from AAA to D. Ratings from Aaa to Baa are considered investment-graded by Moody’s, and ratings from AAA to BBB are considered investment-graded by S&P. When rating agencies evaluate a credit rating, they also attach a “rating outlook” to each rating. “Positive” means that a rating may be raised, “Negative” means that a rating may be lowered, and “Stable” means that a rating is not likely to change.
