BPER Tight New Issue Price: Highlights Value in BPEIM 3.75% '28s

FINANCIALS

BPER covered bond issue makes 3.75% ‘28s screen cheap, we feel.


  • BPER is issuing a EUR500m (WNG) short 7Y covered fixed bond today. Initial guidance was MS+75bp, revised to +65bp and it’s now priced at +62bp. Books are reported above EUR4.4bn (incl. JLM) so 8.8x covered.
  • The chart below shows BPER and its immediate peer BPM alongside the two Italian majors (all have covered curves rated Aa3) and we note that initial guidance was relatively tight, and this has now priced through the curves of all but Intesa.
  • This does underline the strength of the credit market right now but also (to quote my colleague when referring to Stellantis’ EUR issue yesterday) this appears to be another “one of several recent cases of primary repricing secondary tighter”. This highlights value in BPEIM 3.75 10/22/28 at the very least, we feel.
