On Wednesday, Moody’s, the international credit rating agency, upgraded LG Electronics’ credit rating outlook from Baa2, Stable, to Baa2, Positive.

 This positive outlook signals a strong possibility of a future credit rating upgrade based on the company’s current business structure and financial health. It’s the first time in 4 years that Moody’s adjusted LG Electronics’ credit rating and outlook since 2021.

 Moody’s attributes LG Electronics’ creditworthiness to its global brand power, market leadership, and diversification across businesses and regions.

 The agency justified the positive outlook by stating that despite heightened market uncertainties, such as tariff increases and softening demand for certain products, LG Electronics is expected to maintain a stable financial structure and sound financial indicators based on its consistent profit-generating capabilities.

 Moody’s also highlighted LG Display’s improved financial position, in which LG Electronics holds a 36.72% stake. This development reduces potential contingent support needs and could boost LG Electronics’ equity method earnings.

 While not factored into the current outlook, Moody’s mentioned that LG Electronics’ ongoing initial public offering (IPO) of its Indian subsidiary could further strengthen the company’s financial indicators. At the end of last year, LG Electronics filed preliminary review documents with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, proposing to list its Indian subsidiary and divest its 15% stake.
