The credit rating displayed is determined based on the availability of ratings from specific agencies. If Moody's, S&P, and Fitch all provide ratings, the middle rating of the three is shown. If only two of these agencies provide ratings, the more conservative (lower) rating is displayed. Should only one of these agencies offer a rating, that rating alone is used. In cases where none of the primary agencies (Moody's, S&P, Fitch) provide a rating, ratings from secondary agencies KBRA or DBRS are considered. If both secondary agencies provide ratings, the more conservative of the two is shown. If only one secondary agency provides a rating, that rating is displayed.
