11:44 PM EDT, 09/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Moody's said Tuesday it launched a review for a potential upgrade of Cirsa Enterprises' (CIRSA.MC) Ba3 corporate family rating following the company's all-share cross-border merger agreement with Italian gambling operator Lottomatica Group (LTMC.MI). The rating agency added that the agreed transaction is expected to create a larger and more diverse business that will have access to more financial resources. Cirsa's Ba3 rating reflects its market position, diversification and margins history, Moody's said, noting that the ongoing review will focus on the credit profile and capital structure of the enlarged company resulting from the transaction.
