Aggressive NovaKBM Issue Pricing Could Drag OTP Curve Tighter

FINANCIALS

Nova KBM prices through parent company’s curve, at MS+190bp – could drag OTP’s curve tighter.


  • Earlier, we noted Nova’s spread premium to its (better-rated) parent company curve so viewed fair value at somewhere around MS+215bp.
  • What has followed is a very strong performance with the new issue pricing not only inside OTP’s curve, but tighter than the observed spread of OTP’s 6.125% at MS+194bp.
  • Primary last week had normalised with positive NICs being seen and, much as this week could well be quieter as we run into European public holidays over the long weekend, this is a remarkable performance. That OTP bond could get pulled tighter now, we feel.
