In an initial rating, RAM Ratings has assigned Sierra Cables PLc a long-term corporate rating BBB (triple B) with a stable outlook and a short term rating of P3. The rating reflects a moderate capacity to meet financial obligations.

They should also be informed of new credit lines or withdrawals of such lines, new issues of shares, debentures or debt or equity instruments and large investmenst or disposals which exceed 10% of the shareholders’ funds.
