Well, the China Evergrande saga rumbles on, as the ramifications of an easing Chinese property sector play out. Bloomberg reported that some China Evergrande Group bondholders received an overdue interest payment shortly before the expiry of a grace period, buying more time for the debt-stricken property developer as it tries to raise cash through asset sales. The shares were up nearly 10% on Friday to 2.78, well off recent lows, but then if you take a longer – say 6th month view then the story is rather different. Still on the mat. Though I still see some analysts saying both bonds and shares are a distressed bargain… we will see.
Certainly. certain holders of the 9.5% dollar note maturing in 2024 received notification they had been paid last Thursday. Evergrande skipped an interest payment due Sept. 29, starting the clock on a 30-day grace period before investors could declare a default. It’s the second time this month that the debt-stricken property developer avoided default.
