S&P Global Ratings keeps the United States’ long-term sovereign credit rating at “AA+” and maintains a stable outlook, according to multiple outlets. The rating decision is tied to S&P’s view of the U.S. economy’s ongoing resilience and its ability to support fiscal outcomes over the coming years. In particular, Fortune reports that S&P expects economic strength to help support solid fiscal revenue collection, including revenues linked to continued tariffs, and to help stabilize fiscal deficits in the near term. Investing.com likewise reports that S&P affirms the AA+ rating and cites resilience as a key factor behind the decision, while confirming the stable outlook. One source notes historical context: S&P was the first major credit rating agency to downgrade the U.S. from AAA to a lower rating in 2011, and at the time the downgrade drew criticism from the U.S. Treasury. Together, the articles present S&P’s assessment that the U.S. remains creditworthy at AA+ despite ongoing fiscal pressures, with the stable outlook indicating no immediate expectation of a downgrade or upgrade.
