Industrials: Week in Review
CAPITAL GOODS
- The Anglo American / BHP story rumbles on, Anglo appear determined to fend BHP off having rejected them for a second time and accelerated their strategy update. Deal probability feels like its slipped, but spreads are unmoved.
- Brenntag spreads underperformed a little following a miss for 1Q and FY guided lower. Siemens results were a non-event.
- Deere also lowered guidance, with difficult conditions in the sector confirmed. Something to keep an eye on for lower rated CNH Industrial.
- Primary saw deals for Illinois Tool Works, Eaton, Timken with thin NICs once again.
- Westlake saw its 29s underperform (+15bp) on seemingly no news; $ bonds appear to be +5.
