Asia HY Trade Recommendations - June 2020 - Lucror Analytics

From an investor’s perspective, the month of May was dominated by two issues: the likely rate of the post-pandemic economic recovery, and mounting tensions between China and the US. In addition, China held its annual Two Sessions during the month after a delay due to COVID-19. In this report, we focus on the Government Working Report delivered at the meetings, looking for guidance on the trajectory of policy easing and the stimulus meant to drive a post-pandemic recovery. The Asia Monthly focuses on providing updates on recent events, information on new issues and spread movements, as well as summarising our top picks and discussing specific areas of interest in the “In-Focus” section. The Asia Monthly is intended to broaden investors' understanding of the Asian USD high-yield market.

Asia HY Trade Recommendations - May 2020 - Lucror Analytics

The global economic impact of COVID-19 deepened in April, with many countries now expected to see GDP contract in 2020. That said, credit and equity markets were buoyed by central bank stimulus and more positive headlines on the pandemic. This month, we consider the effect of this unprecedented event on the investor psyche, which could heighten risk aversion for some time and weigh heavily on Asian HY corporate credit. We also present a trade idea for Chinese property bonds, where we see promise amid the current uncertainty.

Agung Podomoro Land's (APL) ​FY 2019 results were very weak, albeit this was expected given the similar 9M development. Leverage deteriorated only slightly, as debt reduction offset the lower earnings. Coverage ratios have deteriorated significantly and are stressed. While the company had managed to delay the liquidity crisis in Q3, refinancing risk has risen again. The outlook for APL will hinge on the sale of Central Park Mall. Proceeds from the transaction would shore up liquidity, which is inadequate, and be used to pay back the USD 127 mn bridge loan maturing in March 2021.
