It citied the group\u2019s liquidity position, diversified asset base and continued access to funding channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key obligations include a US$1.5bn bond due in 2027 under Genting Overseas Holdings Ltd, a US$300m Empire Resorts bond, US$665m in term loans tied to Resorts World Las Vegas, and MYR3.8bn (US$968m) in Malaysian retail bonds. However, CreditSights noted that Genting has \u201cmultiple funding options at its disposal\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it acknowledged that liquidity pressure exists, it said refinancing avenues remain open through a combination of existing liquidity, bank funding and capital markets access and that the maturity profile does not pose an immediate solvency risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more cautious assessment was applied to Genting Malaysia Berhad, which CreditSights described as weaker than major regional peers amid rising leverage, execution risk and the <a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/genting-malaysia-granted-full-new-york-casino-licence\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/genting-malaysia-granted-full-new-york-casino-licence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">US$5.5bn integrated resort project in New York<\/a>, where capital expenditure is heavily front-loaded following the award of a downstate casino licence in late 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the report, the concentration of early-stage spending is expected to pressure cash flow and leverage metrics during construction. Governance concerns were also flagged as unresolved, alongside Genting Malaysia\u2019s BBB- rating with a negative outlook from S&amp;P Global Ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CreditSights said Genting Malaysia\u2019s bonds should trade wider than those of peers such as Sands China, reflecting higher perceived risk. However, it noted that support from Genting Bhd, geographical diversification and potential asset sales could help mitigate pressure on credit metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/05\/Genting-Malaysia-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/cimb-upgrades-genting-malaysia-to-buy-after-new-york-licence-approval'>CIMB upgrades Genting Malaysia to &#8220;Buy&#8221; after New York licence approval<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fitch Group research unit says Genting\u2019s liquidity and access to funding support its ability to meet upcoming obligations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":680,"featured_media":17661,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"CreditSights assesses Genting Bhd's refinancing risk as manageable, citing robust liquidity and diversified assets despite significant debt maturities in 2026-2027.
