Stellantis (STLA Baa1/BBB+/BBB+[P]): RV Update

CONSUMER CYCLICALS
  • Having looked tight for much of this year, Stellantis has been a recent underperformer with STLA 4.375 03/30 trading wide to GM 4.3 02/29 for the first time, from as tight as 58bp through last year. GM equity has outperformed STLA marginally (~5%) over the past year.
  • At their capital markets day the CEO announced plans to return some of the excess cash position (covid buffer) to shareholders https://marketnews.com/stellantis-baa1-bbb-bbb-p-returning-cash-to-shareholders.
  • We see limited scope for GM (Baa2/BBB/BBB) to outperform further. If broader credit remains weak, we would expect reverse yankees to underperform so risk appears asymmetric here.
