Despite the above €26s seem to have a low beta to fundamentals (even in past rough years) instead trading to ratings/govvie uplift. French USO, La Poste (NR/A/A+) has traded tight to it. France state is rated Aa2/AA-/AA- largely in-line with Belgium but FRPTT standalone at S&P is 1-notch higher at BBB with it receiving a similar 3-notch uplift for the net higher rating. A stake sell-down may have less impact on it as well given current 100% French state ownership. We spread it outside the FRPTT curve for those reasons. We do NOT see value at FV, IPT is indicative of NIC's being handed out.
