Conclusion
From the table we can conclude that PT Krakatau Steel has strength is in
Operating performance and volatility, but weak in its Financial Strength.
The size and business profile and Financial policies is not good but not
bad also. If compared to the other company Krakatau is still not ready
yet to go global. The Krakatau steel can see the POSCO company as a
benchmark for going global. Because the POSCO companies has the

2.55
Baa3

highest rating in from 4 categories that moody is focusing in steel

industry.
