The RatingsXpress®: Scores & Factors dataset provides transparency into how S&P Global Ratings analysts establish an Issuer Credit Rating.

By assessing the underlying business, financial, industry, and economic risk factors and assessments, plus the stand-alone credit profile, which drove an analyst's rating recommendation for an issuer, you can:

• Create meaningful financial benchmarks for internal risk models as a result of weakening support from the parent, affiliate, or related government
• Gain more insights into when the credit quality of an entity may be shifting by monitoring the underlying components of its credit rating
• Better differentiate between Issuers with the same rating by assessing a company's business risk profile, industry risk, and competitive position
• For banks adhering to Basel III regulations, decouple an Issuer's credit risk from any credit support provided to the entity
