Vedanta losing the race to acquire distressed infrastructure firm Jaiprakash Associates (JPA) is being viewed as a credit positive as per CreditSights, as it removes the risk of the company absorbing the JPA’s heavy debt, deteriorating earnings, exposing Vedanta to more volatile and working capital intensive real estate, cement, and infrastructure segments. Also, they cited there was “murky strategic rationale for the acquisition”. CreditSights however, remains concerned over Vedanta Group’s aggressive expansion in newer, capital-intensive ventures such as semiconductors and hydropower. JPA’s creditors earlier last week voted in favour of rival bidder Adani Enterprises, mainly as it proposed higher upfront payments over a 1.5-2 years timeframe.
Dollar bonds of Vedanta were stable. Its 11.25% 2031s were trading at 104.95, yielding 10.13%.
