Qualitas (MXP838681123) received a BBB+ long-term issuer credit and financial strength rating with a negative outlook from S&P Global Ratings on September 25, 2026. The assessment supports the insurer's capital and liquidity profile while tying the negative outlook to sovereign risk in Mexico.

Quarterly figures hold steady

For the second quarter of 2026, Qualitas reported revenue of MXN 18.52 billion and net profit of MXN 1.39 billion, according to Markets Insider. The prior-year comparison in the same report was MXN 18.44 billion of revenue and MXN 1.40 billion of net profit, putting revenue 0.43 percent higher and profit 0.71 percent lower year over year.

The numbers show a narrow top-line gain alongside slightly lower earnings. That mix makes underwriting discipline and claims costs more important than revenue growth alone for the next reporting period.

Credit strength meets concentration risk

S&P Global Ratings said Quálitas Mexico contributes 95.00 percent of the group's consolidated gross premiums written, almost all earnings and 86.00 percent of total assets. The agency projects gross premiums written growth of 8.00-10.00 percent for full-year 2026, while the insurer's market share is expected at 33.00-35.00 percent in 2026 and 2027.

The rating therefore combines operating scale with geographic concentration. S&P also identified inflation, heavier rains, soft market conditions and changes to value-added tax treatment for claim expenses as pressures on loss ratios and underwriting results.
