Credit Rating Implications for Big Box Retailers in the Reopening Economy
As economies transition from lockdown to reopening and recovery, DBRS Morningstar expects the big box retailers' revenue growth to moderate meaningfully through H2 2021 and into 2022 as consumers are expected to redirect an increasing portion of their spending towards previously unavailable services, including restaurants, sports events, and travel. DBRS Morningstar believes that the extent to which topline will be affected depends primarily on the retailers' ability to maintain volume amid the reopening and to effectively pass on the impact of inflation through price increases.
