Walgreens Boots (WBA; Ba2, BBB- Neg) £25s cheap view taken off post-dollar sell-off

CONSUMER STAPLES
  • €26s another +12 on the open, £25s unch.
  • To clarify $26s (+66 mids yest) are ahead of it (below re-ordered). We would revisit €26s at MS+200 (+160 now).
  • Rotate into €VFC26s for better risk/reward (no carry give up, not a cheap view though).
  • We take off the £25s. As we said we still have no issue with it as it is a front-maturity (~$1.5b ahead of it). But our cheap views are also based on current levels and on that it no longer looks dislocated (below is the before/after earnings).
  • We have no firm view right now but those with bullish takes should eye the $26s (6.6%/T+186).
    • Equities -22%
    • £25s +2
    • $26s +66
    • €26s +12
    • $30s +64
    • $44s +26
