CREDIT SUPPLY

Caixabank (CABKSM: Baa2/BBB pos/BBB+ pos) is issuing Tier 2 debt this morning – we see fair value around MS+190bp area.

  • Caixabank is issuing EUR benchmark 12NC7 Tier 2 sub debt with IPT at MS+225bp area. Expected ratings are: Baa3/BBB-/BBB-/BBBH (… last being DBRS).
  • Results were out yesterday, beat consensus and credit metrics looked supportive to spreads, in our view. The equity was up 2% against a flat sector.
  • This issue is beyond CABKSM’s current curve – BPCE and ING’s curves both imply something around 5-10bp per year of extension. Using CABKSM 6.125% ’34, at 2yrs shorter workout and MS+180bp, this leads us to a fair value around MS+190bp.
