  In this letter we study the Higgs mass in the NMSSM with supersymmetry
breaking at high scales $M_{SS}$. With the Standard Model as the effective low
energy theory, the computation of the Higgs mass relies on the matching
condition of the quartic coupling $\lambda$ at $M_{SS}$. In the MSSM, the
latter is fixed to a semi-positive value and, thus, sets an upper bound on the
SUSY-breaking scale near $M_{SS}\simeq 10^{10}\text{GeV}$. In the NMSSM,
$\lambda(M_{SS})$ receives an additional contribution induced by the singlet
which allows for negative values of $\lambda(M_{SS})$. In turn, for the
measured value of the Higgs mass we find that $M_{SS}$ can take any value up to
the GUT scale. Furthermore, the choice of universal soft terms favors
SUSY-breaking scales close to the GUT scale.
