IPT FV (EUR 500mn WNG 8Y; Baa3/BBB-)

CREDIT SUPPLY
  • IPT of MS+175-180 looks slightly wide to us; we put FV around MS+140a.
  • Pre-tender the 26s traded at a z-spread just above 70bps which put it broadly in line with the WBD 27s with neither benefitting from CSPP though we note a steep deleveraging requirement at WPP to maintain IG status compared to what looks like decent ratings headroom at ITV.
  • Our FV offers 15-20bps of pickup vs. the interpolated curves of JCDecaux and WPP; JCDecaux outperformed in May and now trades tight against WPP though the outperformance has moderated this month. ITV looks somewhat attractive against WPP which has less ratings headroom and above target leverage but with a more diversified business model.
