Fitch Affirms RWE's Rating, Outlook on Robust Business Profile

09:05 AM EDT, 07/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Fitch said Thursday it affirmed the long-term issuer default rating of RWE (RWE.F) at BBB+, with a stable outlook. The key drivers of the rating include the German energy group's robust business profile, supported by its acquisition of a further stake in Amprion and the "gradually higher contribution" of quasi-regulated businesses. For the stable outlook, the rating agency noted expectations that the company's nuclear-adjusted funds from operations net leverage will remain within its rating sensitivities through 2028.
