Humphreys also lifted the rating of Besalco's commercial paper line from Level 1/A to Level 1/A+ and changed the outlook on both debt instruments from Favorable to Stable. The company's shares retained a First Class Level 2 rating with a Stable outlook.

The agency pointed to sustained improvement in Besalco's business structure, controlled debt and strong liquidity. It said the changes should improve the stability and predictability of the company's results and cash flows.

Mining services lead earnings

Mining-related operations, particularly machinery services, have become Besalco's main earnings contributor. The division represented 71.8% of consolidated EBITDA in the twelve months ended September 2026, up from an average of about 50% between 2021 and 2024.

Humphreys reported EBITDA of CLP 159.285 billion over the trailing twelve months and a project backlog of UF 40.3 million. Besalco also has a pipeline of projects awaiting awards, including significant mining-related initiatives.
