Japfa Comfeed’s Q1/20 results were better than expected, with stable revenue growth, improved profitability and cash flows. However, we understand that COVID-19 only had an impact in the last two weeks of Q1, and could even have driven demand up temporarily as people stocked up on food at home. The financial risk profile is reasonable, with a slight deterioration in leverage but stable coverage ratios. Liquidity remains weak despite the large cash position, due to the substantial and increasing short-term debt.

Japfa Comfeed - Earnings Flash - Q1 FY 2020 Results - 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. 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.
