BBVA AT1 Issue: We See Fair Value At 6.645% Coupon Area

CREDIT SUPPLY

BBVA (Baa2 dev/BBB+/BBB+) is raising AT1 today, we see fair value at 6.645% coupon area.


  • BBVA is raising EUR benchmark PerpNC7 AT1 with IPT at 7.375% coupon area. Using swap rate of 2.845% this is MS+453bp area. Expected ratings Ba2/BB.
  • BBVA and Caixabank are similarly-rated so that CABKSM 8.25 at 5.3yrs workout is something of a valuation floor for this issue, even assuming BBVA trades tight of Caixa generally. Intesa is one-notch weaker so fair value can similar to the lower-coupon ISPIM 5.875% at slightly longer workout, we feel.
  • We see fair value at MS+380bp, which works back to 6.645% coupon area.
