S&P Global Upgrades Aura Minerals' Credit Rating to 'BB-' with Stable Outlook
Summary
Aura Minerals Inc. announced that S&P Global Ratings upgraded its issuer credit rating on the global scale from 'B+' to 'BB-' and on the Brazilian National Scale from 'brAA' to 'brAA+', with both outlooks revised to stable. This positive development follows the company's recent announcement of record Q4 and full-year 2025 financial and operational results, driven by higher production and favorable metal prices.
