In our European High Yield Investment Outlook, we first discuss our high-conviction trade recommendations. We then examine major geopolitical and macroeconomic drivers for the year, as well as commodity price trends. We also assess the interest rate exposure of companies in our coverage universe and elaborate on developments for European HY markets, including new issuances and defaults. Lastly, we cover sectoral developments and the key drivers for companies under our coverage. Overall, we are cautiously optimistic for 2023, and believe selected names still offer interesting opportunities, albeit spreads have recovered strongly this year.

Lucror Analytics' ESG Scores are based on a 3-tiered scale and are adjusted for Controversies (if applicable). We view Bombardier's ESG as "Adequate", in line with the scores for all three pillars. Controversies are "Immaterial" and Disclosure is "Adequate".  We expect the data and our assessment to change going forward, given that Bombardier has become a pure-play business jet provider while the historical data includes the commercial aircraft and transportation segments.
