After some relief for markets on the data front this week, a period of quiet in terms of macro news should offer a further window for new supply to come from EM issuers ahead of an expected summer lull. Spread levels remain well anchored and EM credit should continue to see robust demand from yield-seeking investors.

In 2023, GTC launched – and eventually walked away from – an attempt to take over Ultima. Under new leadership, the company entered 2024 with an LTV of 49%, having made EUR 65m in FFO in 2023 (EUR 71m, if adjusted for non-recurring cost items). The key task ahead is the refinancing of the 2026E EUR 500m green bond. GTC plans to exit the Ireland data-centre development project, which could help it to repay part of the bonds. Importantly, it has secured permission to expand the technological campu...

We keep our constructive view on the Polish banks. We admit that the upside we see is far less than the share price performance last year (WIG Bank index up 119% in the LTM). However, we cannot ignore the single-digit P/Es (our sector median 2024E P/E at 8.3x), in combination with the falling cost of equity, which is, in part, the result of improved sentiment in the country and improving growth expectations. All this is topped up with generous dividend payments this year. The solid earnings outl...
