EU CONSUMER CYCLICALS: Kering | Guidance (x2)
May-20 12:15
(KERFP; NR/BBB+ Stable)
So it is giving a NIC and a big one. If we look at the April widening the 5y moves 2:3 to index moves - we see that beta holding till at least July numbers (reminder it reported no change to the double digit sales falls in April). Index is +14 from YTD tights, -20 from wides.
We see it net levered 2.7x without assistance from RE disposals, outside 2.5x rating threshold: it has tabled another €2b this year, timing unclear but can give it up to ~0.5x relief on leverage. We were expecting S&P to move to negative outlook for now.
- €750m 4.5y +95-100 WPR vs. FV +75 (+20-25bp NIC)
- -25 from IPT, books >€1.8b
- CoC, 2m par call, MWC, Clean-up call (75%)
- Likely will give a NIC but we will not see value unless it is sizeable
