Commentary & Deal Flow

CFR CREDIT CLOSE: IG Back and Rolling

IGC European Market: Commentary - GeneralIGC European Market: Commentary - CloseIGC US Market: Commentary - GeneralIGC US Market: Commentary - Close

Expectations were very high for this week with the average estimate of $65.4bn being one of the largest weekly estimates since 2020. However, rising geopolitical tensions and broader market volatility kept issuance subdued. Monday delivered the second goose of the year, followed by just one deal pricing on Tuesday.

With equities in the green this morning, five issuers took advantage of the window. Many others continued to hold off, waiting for greater stability rather than testing the waters. For those that did move forward, the decision paid off: the day’s deals achieved an average IPT-to-PXD tightening of -33.86 (3rd largest YTD) and an average oversubscription of 6.29x (largest YTD).

We expect the deals that stood down today - along with additional names entering the pipeline - to look again tomorrow, assuming markets remain constructive overnight. Four issuers also held investor calls today, including Baker Hughes, which could bring another jumbo transaction to the market. Additionally, three issuers from February investor call dates remain in the pipeline.

$17.65bn ultimately priced on the day, led by M&A-driven supply from ETN ($8.5bn) and FIS ($6.8bn), which accounted for the bulk of issuance, along with two utilities, and another yankee industrial. Both utilities had quite impressive books. DUK (Indiana) ended 17.45x covered, the second highest tranche for the year to come behind only CFG’s 17.50x on its 10nc5 sub notes from 01/22/26, helped by books that grew after launch. ETR (Mississippi) was 10.31x covered and fell just 1.47% from peak.

ETN was able to price a 3bp 10s/30s curve, tightest since CRHID on 10/6/25. Looking back through 2021, it tied BAC for 5th tightest 10s/30s curve.
