Default Rate May Rise as Company Finances Weaken in Europe, Moody's Says
Default Rate May Rise as Company Finances Weaken in Europe, Moody's Says
The default-rate on high-yield companies in Europe may start rising, reversing a near-term trend of increased stability and improving industry outlooks, according to Moody’s Investors Service.
The European speculative-grade default rate declined to 5.8 percent at the end of June, Moody’s said. The New York-based firm expects the rate to fall to 1.4 percent by the end of the year, it said in a report today.
The default rate “will rise again as some more weakly positioned credits struggle to refinance without material debt restructuring and writedowns,” analyst Chetan Modi said in the report today. ...

Buybacks, Tenders and Exchanges – A Distortion of the Default Rate
Buybacks, Tenders and Exchanges – A Distortion of the Default Rate
In the world of corporate bonds, the yield spread over the sovereign benchmark reflects the liquidity premium and, more importantly, investors’ compensation for default risk. Accurate measurement of default risk is critical in determining the required risk premium on bonds. But the official default rate, which is measured and published by rating agencies, can be subject to distortions because certain capital losses, corporate buybacks, tenders and exchanges may not be accurately represented in the default rate calculations. In a macroeconomic environment likely to be characterized by greater performance differentiation among credit markets, sectors and issuers, paying closer attention to these potential distortions will prove invaluable to the credit selection process. ...
