BKIR Tier 2 Issue: We See Fair Value At MS+185bp Area

CREDIT SUPPLY

Bank of Ireland (BKIR: sub rating Baa2 pos/BB+/BBB-) is raising 10.25NC5.25 Tier 2 sub debt – we see fair value at MS+185bp area.


  • BKIR is raising EUR500m (WNG) 10.25NC5.25 Tier 2 sub debt with IPT at MS+220bp area, expected rating Baa2/BB+/BBB-. BKIR last came to market in Mar-24 for USD1bn and hasn’t raised any EUR since Nov-23 (EUR750m green sr unsecured).
  • Caixabank is actually marginally better-rated (CABKSM: Baa3/BBB-,BBB-, see grpahic) but trades wide of BKIR and the call structures of the adjacent bonds (CABKSM 6.125 ’34 and BKIR 6.75 ’33) are similar to this issue. So, we can see a fair value as tight as MS+185bp area.
