The rating comes as the healthcare organization’s operating income remains resilient in the face of industry pressures and debt levels declining meaningfully in recent years.  

Fitch noted potential risks to leverage levels if Tenet’s capital allocation “prove overly aggressive through large, debt-funded acquisitions,” the report said.
