CONSUMER STAPLES: Consumer: Week In Review

CONSUMER STAPLES

With the exception of B&M earnings and Flutter’s guidance cut most reporting for the quarter ending November saw in-line growth (Sodexo, Tesco, InPost) to beats (Pluxee and Walgreen Boots).

The movers in secondary were continuation of 4Q; Barry Callebaut 29s on Cocoa price linked headwinds, ITM 29s on S&P’s IG rating tailwind and Campari 27s on RV. IAG’s €400m tender across the 27/29s took us by surprise and marks an end - for some - on a name that has been a blessing to credit and equity investors.
