KBC 8yr Green Issue: We See Fair Value MS+100-105bp.

FINANCIALS

KBC issuing 8yr green senior unsecured this morning (KBC BB). We see fair value MS+100-105bp.


  • IPT is MS+135 area. KBC’s senior unsecured curve is slightly skewed by a couple of older, low-margin issues at 6-7yr, so the comparable curve is marginally above that presented.
  • We see the MS+97bp that KBCBB 4.375% 12/06/31 is showing at, as the floor, so view fair value around 100-105bp.
  • Any significant greenium could see this tighten below our FV but recent experience hasn’t indicated these as being meaningful, we feel.
