Fitch upgrades Limited Brands' credit

Chicago Fitch Ratings on Thursday upgraded a number of its ratings on Limited Brands given the retailer's improved condition.

The rating agency upgraded its rating on the company's senior secured bank credit facility to "BBB-" from "BB+" and on its senior unsecured guaranteed notes to "BB+" from "BB."

Fitch affirmed a number of its issuer default ratings and upgraded Limited Brands' rating outlook to "Stable" from "Negative."
