China Vanke was downgraded by two notches to CCC- from CCC+ by Fitch. The rating agency cited weakening liquidity and underwhelming Q1 results, specifically weak sales and cash flows. It forecasts free cash flows (FCF) to remain negative in the near term, raising concerns over its capacity to service significant upcoming debt maturities. Fitch noted that the importance of continued and timely financial support from Vanke’s largest shareholder, the state-owned Shenzhen Metro Group (SZMG) was essential to address its obligations. SZMG recently extended a $454mn loan, helping GLP repay bonds.
Vanke’s 3.5% 2029s are trading stable at 74.2, yielding 11.4%.
