Investing.com -- Fitch Ratings on Friday upgraded the credit rating of Airbus to ’A’ from its previous rating.

The upgrade reflects Fitch’s expectation that Airbus’s operating profitability and free cash flow (FCF) generation will continue to improve in the short to medium term.

Fitch also weighed in on the potential impact of increased tariffs on Airbus’s performance, stating that such an increase would likely have a moderate impact on the company’s performance.

The rating agency also noted some supply chain issues that could limit Airbus’s ambitions to increase production of large commercial aircraft in 2025.

However, Fitch expects these issues to gradually improve by the end of the year, which would support Airbus’s operations.

Looking ahead, Fitch forecasts that Airbus’s aircraft delivery volume will bounce back to pre-pandemic levels in 2026.
