S&P Global Ratings Upgrades Sammaan Capital to BB-
S&P Global Ratings has upgraded Sammaan Capital Limited's long-term international credit rating to BB- with a Stable Outlook. The upgrade reflects the continued strengthening of the company's credit profile following the strategic investment by International Holding Company PJSC (IHC). S&P expects an improvement in the company's business profile, enhanced funding access, continued strong capitalization, and an increase in profitability.
This latest upgrade from S&P Global completes a series of rating upgrades from all major rating agencies covering the company, underscoring the positive impact of IHC's investment on Sammaan Capital's financial standing.
All Major Rating Agencies Upgrade Following IHC Investment
The sequence of upgrades began after IHC completed its strategic investment in Sammaan Capital on March 31, 2026. Each domestic rating agency has since raised its assessment of the company's creditworthiness.
| Rating Agency | New Rating | Date Upgraded |

| CRISIL | CRISIL AA+/Stable | April 9, 2026 |
| CARE Ratings | CARE AA+; Stable | May 12, 2026 |

| S&P Global Ratings | BB-/Stable (International) | 2026 |
With all major rating agencies now having upgraded their ratings, Sammaan Capital has received comprehensive validation of its improved creditworthiness from both domestic and international perspectives.
Market Confidence Translates to Financial Benefits
The successive rating upgrades have already produced tangible results for Sammaan Capital. Improved market confidence has been accompanied by a meaningful reduction in the company's incremental borrowing costs. Lower funding costs directly enhance the company's ability to operate more efficiently and competitively.
The enhanced funding access resulting from these upgrades positions Sammaan Capital to support higher disbursements going forward. This improved liquidity profile will support the company's operational growth ambitions.
Accelerated Growth Strategy Execution
The combination of enhanced funding access and a lower cost of funds is expected to strengthen Sammaan Capital's competitive position in the market. These improvements create a favorable environment for accelerating execution of the company's growth strategy.
For investors tracking SAMMAANCAP on NSE, the coordinated rating upgrades signal growing institutional confidence in the company's financial health and strategic direction following the IHC partnership.
