English translation:lasting stability/stability over time/sustainable stability
Explanation:
long-term stability

agree  RobinB: I'd go for "stability over time", with particular reference to mathematical models used by analysts. What I don't like in Caitriona's text is "capital market-oriented". German kapitalmarktorientiert here must mean "(for) publicly listed companies".

Zeitstabilität
Consistency over time


Explanation:
Just a guess really, but when I see "stability over time" I can't help think about, say, the volatility of a chemical, rather than the integrity of a published document such as a piece of credit research.
