On September 29, 2024, FiinRatings, a leading credit rating agency in Vietnam and a technical partner of S&P Global Ratings, upgraded Coteccons’ long-term credit rating from BBB to BBB+ with a “Stable” outlook. This recognition is a proud achievement for Coteccons after three years of restructuring and operational stabilization. The company has consistently improved its profitability, operational efficiency, and the quality of its receivables by shifting towards projects with stronger cash flows, especially FDI projects. This result is particularly meaningful as the A-category ratings are typically reserved for energy companies and banks, and no construction company has ever been rated in this group. Coteccons is also the only construction company to achieve a BBB+ rating, the highest in the B-category.
