Saint-Gobain (Baa1/BBB+/NR): RV Update

BASIC INDUSTRIES
  • Since issuing with ~5bp NIC in March, SGOFP bonds have outperformed CRHID (Baa1/BBB+/BBB+).
  • Investors can now swich from SGOFP 3.625 04/34 into CRHID 4.25 07/35 for a 22bp Z pickup, from 8bp post issuance. While the curve extension is worth ~6bp, the curves trade 0-10bp apart at shorter maturities.
  • No fundamental issues to report with either; SGOFP recently made a small acquisition. CRH benefits from exposure to the North America infrastructure market.
  • Investors looking to reduce France exposure may want to consider the switch.
