On October 16, 2025, Moody's Ratings placed Genting Bhd's Baa2 issuer rating on review for a potential downgrade. This action followed Genting's announcement of a planned RM6.3 billion debt-funded acquisition of the remaining 50.6% of Genting Malaysia Bhd that it does not currently own. Moody's expressed concern that the acquisition, which will be primarily funded by new borrowings, will materially weaken Genting's credit quality. The ratings agency noted that Genting's credit metrics are already considered "stretched" and projected that the company's adjusted debt-to-Ebitda ratio could climb to approximately 5.1 times in 2025, delaying significant debt reduction. The review, expected to be concluded within 60 to 90 days, could result in a multi-notch downgrade if a credible debt-reduction strategy is not presented. The ratings of Genting Overseas Holdings and Genting Singapore have also been placed on review due to the potential contagion risk from the parent company.
