FCLSP 4.88% Perp NC 5 callable 09/19: 100.60, 4.74%, SOR + 285 bps
FCLSP 3.7% 04/19: 100.50, 3.57%, SOR + 176 bps
The company is also currently syndicating a A$ 600 mio 5 year loan less than a week ago.
The spread for the 5Y was SOR + 115 bps but note that loan covenants are different from the bond programme and probably more stringent.
Moody’s just raised their outlook to positive on 17 Feb which is good news after their Q1 net profit jumps 55% to S$187 mio and analysts upgraded their recommendations to BUY for the stock.
Now this deal is significantly anchored by TCC which is a selling point because if bond coupons are not taxed while dividends are after tax.
Also, perpetuals count into the capital base and not into liability base which does not make their leverage look too bad.
Well, they have upped their borrowing limit to $3 bio since their acquisition of Australand last year from Capitaland which means they have more to go and they will continue with the property developments to sell at a profit to Reits.
The Singapore budget helps because SReits have to look offshore these days and it is looking like a profitable future for them indeed (not sure about the Reit).
But at low 5%, it is nothing to scream about. Not especially with their fates tied to Australia.
