$200m (+30m) sen unsec cb coming tonight from CS/MER/CITI. Terms: 7yr. 5.25-5.75% up 20-25%, full protections. UOP = portfolio and gcp. Convert market heating up with chase for yield. Recent comps = IVR & closer comp RWT (better credits). IVR came 03/13 5% +15%, now x/par +14%. RWT came 02/13 4.625% +20%, x/par +40% (bad IVR performance vs RWT caused by tech issues. IVR are a buy here now). PMT specializes in distressed mortgages, attempting to move into jumbo market. We used L+500 for IVR, L+600 for RWT (static 20d = L+400 today). We’d assume L+650 for PMT. ADV = 890k, no leaps, 2 yr 90d 50/10ile = 21/18%. s/dated vol in sctr has picked up. We’d use 22 vol albeit not so much a model trade . Theo = 101.9. Hot sector with industry x/over interest but we prefer 5% +13 IVR over 5.5% +22.5% PMT
