FV 10Y: T+125bp Area
• Vertically integrated Chile electric utility Colbun mandated investor meetings potentially leading up to a USD benchmark-sized senior unsecured10-year green bond issuance.
• Colbun has 2032 notes yielding 4.99%, or 7Y+102bp, while Chile government-owned Codelco (CDEL; Baa2/BBB+/BBB+) has an interpolated yield of 5.21% for that maturity so 22bp wide to similarly rated Colbun. CDEL 35s were quoted 5.66% which would put a new Colbun 10 year at 5.44%, or T+118bp with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yielding 4.27%, plus a new issue concession.
• For a Chile electric comp, we see slightly lower rated Engie Energia Chile (ECLCI; NR/BBB/BBB) with 2034s last quoted 5.62%, or 10Y+135bp. Those bonds have been quoted on average 46bp wide to COLBUN 32s, last quoted 65bp apart.
