Ugly revenues.
Not overly leveraged and not expanding aggressively like Guoco which makes it a better credit which is the reason for its tighter coupon.
7 year interest rates at 2.25% today which give us a nice credit premium of 2%.
They did a 100 mio 10 year 4.7% issue earlier this year which I had missed and not not regular issuers these days having come a long way from their over leveraged days. https://tradehaven.net/market/bonds/new-issue-review-wing-tai-holdings-limited-sgd-10y/
Wingtai is a household name and most fund managers know them well. I applaud their strategy of sitting this property downturn out much like Capitaland (10 year at 3.8 %) and CDL are doing.
This bond should go down pretty well with investors with its magic 4% handle that is a leap and mile safer than the FCL perp, imo and offers a big pick up over the Lend Lease (Jurong Mall) unrated issue.
I got to run for a Rosh Hashanah lunch !
Happy Rosh Hashanah to all !
