    Amgen mega-deal leave a mighty footprint  

    IG issuance (ex-SSA) last week topped a rather hefty $54bn – busting through the $25bn that had been anticipated – as one particular issuer left a mighty big footprint.   

     

    Indeed, the mammoth $24bn 8-part Amgen M&A driven multi-tranche was the largest deal of the week/year, and the largest since last year’s $30bn AT&T Discovery deal in March 2022. Demand for the deal was strong, with a reported book size topping out at around 3.75x, sources say. 

     

    Meanwhile, week over week, IG corporate spreads widened 3bps to 126bps while high yield spreads widened 14bps to 438bps, according to the ICE BofA Masters Indexes.

     

    Looking ahead, surveys are looking for a downsized $24bn to price in this holiday shortened week, sources say.  For the month of February, issuance volume now sits at roughly $98bn, just a smidgen short of the initial estimates with one week left in the month for more deal flow.
