Moody's Maintains Randstad's Rating on Leading Market Position; Outlook Stable

08:01 AM EDT, 09/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Moody's on Monday kept Randstad's (RAND.AS) long-term issuer rating at Baa1, while affirming its stable outlook. The rating action mirrors the Dutch human resources group's leading position in the global staffing and recruitment sector, backed by its solid brand, diverse customer base, wide geographic reach, and history of economic resilience, among others. The stable outlook, meanwhile, highlights the rating agency's expectations of Randstad's continued robust liquidity and positive free cash flow generation as it reduces its leverage, as well as the anticipated improvement in its "cyclically weak" credit metrics.
