Roche (ROSW: Aa2/AA): Tapping USD Market

HEALTHCARE
  • Roche trades tight in EUR vs USD (see Graph for X-CCY analysis) nevertheless they are bringing a triple tranche deal in $ today.
  • Roche acquired Telavant for $7.1b in Oct ’23 and Carmot for $2.7b in Dec ’23
  • Excluding today’s issuance, they will have issued $9.375b and €3b since Nov ’23 which more than covers M&A’s immediate needs.
  • They shouldn’t need to come in Euro any time soon but it is surprising that they are coming in $ given the strength of the EUR market currently and relative value.
