FINANCIALS: BNSELL Covered Issue: We See FV Around MS+58-60bp Area

FINANCIALS

Banca Sella (BNSELL: Ba3/BBB) selling a its inaugural covered bond today, we see fair value around MS+58-60bp area.

  • Banca Sella is issuing an expected EUR400m long 4yr (4.3yr) covered fixed with IPT at MS+68bp area. Expected rating is Aa3.
  • Banco BPM has a similar geographic base to Sella and a well populated covered curve, also rated at Aa3, so we’d have looked at this plus a small premium for novelty. However, it’s also notable that BP Sondrio has two bonds (rated one notch higher) at similar workout points trading around MS+59bp, so these act as a valuation floor, in our view. Recent tight issuance means we feel fair value could be around MS+58-60bp area.
