Business Wire2 days ago

ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. ('HASI,' 'We,' 'Our,' or the 'Company') (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in sustainable infrastructure assets, today announced it has received an investment grade credit rating of BBB- from S&P Global Ratings ('S&P').
On June 11, 2025, S&P upgraded HASI's corporate and issuer credit ratings to BBB- from BB+ with a stable outlook. The Company has maintained an investment grade credit rating of BBB- from Fitch Ratings, Inc. ('Fitch') since May 2024 and an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 from Moody's Investors Service ('Moody's') since June 2022.
'Securing a third investment grade rating is a significant milestone that reflects our financial strength and the resilience of our business model,' said HASI Chief Financial Officer Chuck Melko. 'This achievement underscores our proven strategy and disciplined track record, and enhances our capacity to scale high-impact investments in energy transition projects while continuing to deliver long-term value to our stakeholders.'
In its report, S&P stated that the upgrade reflects the Company's scale and strength, fueled by HASI's steady business growth and asset quality. Despite macroeconomic headwinds in the sustainable infrastructure and energy sector such as tariffs and potential revisions to the Inflation Reduction Act, S&P expects HASI will continue to source investment opportunities at profitable yields, further noting that HASI primarily invests in stabilized projects with minimal construction risk, and that most of the Company's $5.5 billion 12-month pipeline are comprised of projects that are already under construction. Additionally, the report notes that energy demand has outpaced supply in recent years and highlights that HASI's 10-year track record suggests it is well-positioned to source investment opportunities in new sustainable infrastructure asset classes to address this demand.
More information regarding the Company's investment grade credit rating assignments can be found on the respective websites of the rating agencies or accessed directly through HASI's investor relations website at www.investors.hasi.com/fixed-income/credit-ratings.

Tesla stock rises as US moves to ease rules for self-driving cybercab

-- Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock rose 2.6%, hitting a session high on Friday after a report that the US government is taking steps to ease regulations that have hindered the deployment of self-driving vehicles without driver controls. According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration is streamlining the exemption process for automakers seeking to deploy self-driving cars designed without traditional steering wheels or brake pedals. This regulatory shift could significantly benefit Tesla's ambitions to launch its robotaxi service. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced it will simplify the exemption procedure, which previously resulted in processing times that could stretch for years. In a letter posted to its website on Friday, NHTSA Chief Counsel Peter Simshauser stated the agency "anticipates reaching decisions on most exemption requests within months rather than years." Current federal safety standards effectively require new vehicles to include human driving controls, forcing companies developing autonomous vehicles to seek exemptions - a process that has created substantial delays for manufacturers. While Tesla shares climbed on the news, ride-hailing companies Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) saw their shares edge lower, potentially reflecting investor concerns about future competition from autonomous taxi services. The regulatory changes align with Tesla CEO Elon Musk's previously announced plans to develop a fleet of self-driving "Cybercabs" that could compete directly with traditional ride-sharing services.

Ford still struggling with rare earth supplies

-- Ford Motor Co . (NYSE:F) is still facing ongoing challenges with the supply of rare earth magnets from China, crucial for production of its cars. Ford CEO Jim Farley described the situation as "day to day" and "hand-to-mouth" in a Friday interview with Bloomberg TV. Last month, Ford idled its Chicago factory, which produces the Explorer sport utility vehicle, for a week because of the rare earth materials shortage. Farley expressed optimism about recent U.S.-China trade talks but noted that Ford has not yet seen improvements in magnet supply flow. The company has submitted applications to China's ministry of commerce (Mofcom), which are being approved one at a time. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that recent negotiations with China resulted in an agreement for Beijing to quickly approve export licenses for rare earths.
