Loans Versus Bonds Relative Value: Week Of April 30

Mon, 04 May 2009 14:50:15 GMT

As in the last week, the rolling equity squeeze in unique stocks and sectors has caused comparable squeezes in corresponding highly-shorted credits. Some odd names that stand out this week with respect to a disproportionate widening in loans and a tightening in bonds are: BE Aerospace, Centennial Communications, Constellation Brands, First Data Corp and Pantry, although the moves are marginal enough to be likely noise.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Constellation Brands Inc. said Wednesday it lost $406.8 million in its fourth fiscal quarter, narrowly missing Wall Street expectations as it restructured and holiday season wine sales fell in Britain and Australia.
