Lucror Analytics

Lucror Analytics is a leading credit and ESG research specialist and a provider of technology solutions for differentiated fixed income strategies. Our roots are in bottom-up fundamental credit analysis with a specialization in high yield corporate credits from Europe, Asia and Latin America. We are one of few research specialists integrating ESG considerations with fundamental credit research through a dedicated ESG platform. Our ESG assessment covers five key criteria: Disclosure, E,S, & G Pillars, Controversies, ESG Impact on Credit and ESG Momentum.

Recognizing the importance and value-add of Factor Investing in fixed income, Lucror developed the Smart Quant Navigator (SQN), an intuitive platform that helps clients devise and implement factor-based strategies ranging from pure quant to active fundamental, with integrated ESG.

Our company has been at the forefront of developments in the fixed income markets, identifying opportunities and consistently delivering new products and value-adding solutions to clients. Lucror has close relationships with the largest and most reputable asset managers, family offices, hedge funds, investment and wealth managers globally.

Credit

Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone / Credit

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone's 9M/22-23 results were broadly stable. The main takeaway was management’s commitment to reduce debt by INR 50 bn using FCF in FY 2023-24, supported by lower capex and limiting new acquisitions. This would cover the INR 16 bn in repayments for onshore bonds maturing in H1/23-24, as well as the prepayment of certain bank debt. Management expects the company to generate the same amount of FCF in FY 2024-25, which would be channelled to repay the USD 650 mn ADSEZ 3.375 24 due in July 2024.

Stay away from Adani Enterprises (ADE IN). It has wrapped itself in a cloak of nationalistic righteous indignation. Do not buy the dip. Or even a larger one. 
The timing of a Bendigo And Adelaide Bank (BEN AU) and Bank Of Queensland (BOQ AU) merger makes a lot of sense right now.
This Renault SA (RNO FP) / Nissan Motor (7201 JP)'s press release and "agreement", as-is, is a Nothingburger.
