Credit StrategyRates CreditIndustrialsConsumer Staples
RBC analyst Daniel Hosegood provides credit commentary on new euro-denominated debt issuances from Rolls-Royce, Arla Foods, Arcadis, and Amadeus.
Key Takeaways
- 1.Rolls-Royce has successfully migrated from high yield to a solid investment-grade rating (BBB+/A3/A-) driven by strong organic growth and significant margin expansion (24% expected in 2025).
- 2.Arla Foods is set to become Europe's largest dairy co-operative post-merger with DMK, with pricing of new issues expected to align with generic BBB consumer names.
- 3.Arcadis requires a spread premium due to limited revenue visibility and significant equity price volatility related to contract-level issues.
