P MorganGlobal Banks Credit Quarterly2020 Outlook EditionWe relaunch our Global Banks Quarterly after a brief hiatus. This report encompasses our 2020 outlook for Asian, European, CEEMEA, North American, an

5、d Latin American banks. It has been a stellar year for financial credit spreads in general and while absolute levels look tight, there are still some pockets of value. We expect 2020 to be an interesting year, and it could very well be a tale of two halves - the current focus is on the yield environ

6、ment, robust fundamental picture, and supportive technicals, but any indication of trade disruptions, a rise in geopolitical risk, and/or macro weakness will make us more cautious. On a collective basis, J.P. Morgan credit analysts are OW 17 sectors and Underweight 10. The recommendation mix reflect

7、s an improving-to-stable macro picture in DM, a lack of wide-spread bank fundamental concerns and selective preference for EM banks where fundamentals are not deteriorating. Within DM Banks, there is a clear preference for subordinate capital from European banks and Australian Tier 2 bonds over US b

8、ank bonds. We forecast 2020 global banks issuance of $61 Ibn, down 3% yoy. The largest decline is from European banks which we forecast to drop nearly 18% driven by a decline in non-preferred senior as well as holding company needs. US bank supply will rise mainly due to the refinancing of preferred

9、 stock, while EM supply will be a mixed bag as the rise in LATAM issuance is expected to be offset by a significant decline in supply from Middle Eastern and African banks. The dichotomy of issuance expectations between preferred stock and European ATI is striking - we expect US bank preferred stock

10、 issuance of about $30bn, a steep rise from 2019, while ATI is projected to drop 33% to 20bn. European ATI as well as T2 bonds from Russian and Turkish banks were the big outperformers of the year. A low yield environment, reduced geopolitical risk and decent fundamentals set the stage for financial

11、 credit to rally across the board. Within DM banks, Euro NPS, Swiss HC and UK HC p叩er were the clear outperformers and tightened 75-100bp. Within LATAM, senior Mexican bank paper tightened nearly a 140bp after a strong sell-off in late 2018 on the back of the cancellation of Mexico Citys airport. No

12、t surprising but still striking is the extent of underperformance of EM Asian Financials compared to other jurisdictions. Bank fundamentals are expected to be a mixed bag in 2020 as DM banks outperform EM - especially Asian Financials. While low and negative rates will impact bank profitability in t

13、he US and Europe, we still see that as more of an equity story. Asian Bank fundamentals will continue to deteriorate given the macro outlook for Hong Kong and China. Within LATAM, fundamentals within Brazil and Colombia should outperform other countries in the region.See page 137 for analyst certifi

Tier 2 issuance has remained negligible for the large US banks,

The 10Y Sub/senior spread ratio of 1.2x remains well below our long term target of 1.6-1.7x, but a lack of issuance should remain supportive of spreads.European USD Tier 2 instruments performed very strongly in 2

17、019, as tightening of 148bp outpaced tightening by US bank Tier 2 bonds and more senior parts of the European capital structure. Our European team notes that subordinated supply is near its “steady state”, and net supply is expected to be limited. This should be supportive of spreads, and the team i

19、ubSource: J.P. Morgan10050European T2 - SNP Bonds Core European Banks SNP(USD) European T2Source: J.P. MorganSupply OutlookIn our supply outlook for the European Banking sector, we highlight continued bifurcation between the Subordinated and Senior debt, with the former being at or close to steady s

20、tate1, whereas the latter still has more to go in terms of meeting targets, in particular Bail-In Senior. We note that this narrative dovetails into our more positive view on Subordinated debt where net supply will be more limited, whereas our more cautious view on Senior debt (Underweight PrefeiTed

21、, Neutral Bail-In) could be further challenged by continued supply. Further, we think that MREL requirements are a common denominator in European banks9 issuance plans across the capital structure. More specifically, we highlight this bifurcation as subordinated debt on the one hand approachs end-po

22、int in terms of recurrent issuers and with debut deals from smaller ones; and senior debt on the other, with several moving parts in the form of MREL and monetary policy measures continuing to breed uncertainty. We start with the simpler of the two, with past and expected ATI supply in Figure 126 be

23、low, and cumulative trends in Figure 127.AT1 SupplyOwing to a conducive market environment and a fairly heavy call schedule for the first half of 2020 (see Figure 126), ATI primary activity in 2019 was notably elevated, and set to end the year at around -31 bn gross issuance, in line with our prior

24、25/35bn estimates. Indeed, when compared on a cumulative basis to issuance patterns over each year since the asset class began, 2019 comes surprisingly close to retracing 2015 flows (see Figure 127). The drivers today however are entirely different - as opposed to building up their capital stacks, i

25、ssuers are now nearing or have achieved their optimal stack size, and looking only to opportunistically refinance up to 6 months in advance of call dates. The predictability of issuance on this very mechanistic assumption has been almost uncanny, and gives us a fairly clear view as to where the asse

26、t class might head in the next few years. Next year, we expect issuance to take a dip towards the gross 2()bn mark, as 2H 2020 and 1H 2021 redemptions take a slight breather (see Figure 128 and Figure 129 below), and with it, expect to see net issuance finally enter the phase of average“ net zero is

31、imates.However, as is always the case with bank debt, everything is not quite as simple as it seems. While on the one hand we have recurrent (and, crucially, larger) issuers approaching steady state, the conduciveness of the market this year has additionally lured in smaller institutions that so far

32、 have sat on the sidelines and chosen to rely on CETI alone to meet total capital requirements. The proportions of recurrent vs. debut issuers are shown in Figure 130 below:Figure 130: AT1 Debut vs Recurrent issuers (nominal and % of total) Debut (m) Debut (m) Recurrent (m)Source: J.P. Morgan estima

33、tes.As shown, the proportion of debut ATI issuers had stabilised somewhat at around 11% in 2017-2018, but picked up, admittedly only slightly, to 14% in 2019. Away from the obvious conduciveness of the market, we attribute this trend for debut issuers to three additional factors: 1) the impact of th

34、e negative rates environment on profitability, and therefore potential to support CETI through organic capital generation; 2) the benefit of issuing ATI in the context of impending MREL subordination requirements; and 3) Pillar 2R/2G implications, which we explain in more detail later on page 40 giv

35、en the relevance for both ATI and Tier 2 issuance. Therefore, even without assuming the same degree of strength in the market next year, we would not be suiprised to see these other factors continue to draw debut issuers to the market, although we reiterate, the absolute volume is likely to be manag

36、eable and within the 5m context seen in 2019.Tier 2 SupplyMoving up the capital structure slightly, the story is in many ways not dissimilar in Tier 2, with the asset class starting to approach somewhat of a steady run rate, albeit temporarily, as Figure 131 below shows: As shown, we expect annual i

37、ssuance to nbottom out next year, with expected issuance of around 20bn, but to pick up thereafter as redemptions start to build, accumulating in a wall of c. 30bn 2013- issued 10 year bullet maturities. We must admit, we initially expected this Ubottoming-outn to materialise slightly earlier, in th

38、is year as opposed to next.Specifically, in our mid-year publication we revised down our 2019 estimates from 20bn to 15bn, following a subdued first half on a y/y basis that we attributed to lower Basel III regulatory requirements as well as the option to use cheaper senior bail-in-able instruments

39、to meet MREL requirements. Today however, with 22bn issued in the YTD and issuers tapping the market literally as we type, the year looks due to close closer to the -25bn mark.Figure 131: Tier 2 supply (bn)Gross issuance Call scheduleSource: J.P. Morgan estimates.The strength of the market backdrop

40、once again aside, we think the drivers here are partly shared with those we highlighted for ATI earlier, namely MREL requirements and Pillar 2G considerations, feeding through to both debut issuance and a proactiveness from recurrent issuers to build up the stack of Tier 2 often in excess of target/

41、required levels. Indeed, both were concepts we flagged within our mid-year outlook as possible upward risks to our estimates, and where possible, we have now assigned a proportion of issuers9 indicated subordinated MREL issuance numbers to Tier 2 supply forecasts going forward. Before outlining this

42、 concept more thoroughly, however, we begin by reviewing the Pillar 2G concepts below.Upside Supply Risks: Implementing Pillar 2GAmong the various fascinating themes that have captured investors5 attention this past year, we highlight the sudden wave of debut issuers with a long list of smaller inst

43、itutions bringing not only their inaugural Tier 2 transactions but also some venturing into the ATI market. Truth be told, there are multiple reasons why a bank would issue subordinated debt but we think it is worth emphasizing forthcoming changes in Pillar 2G that will create a greater incentive to

44、 fully optimize the capital structure and issue subordinated debt (both Tier 2 and ATI) so as to meet Pillar 1 requirements. We started talking about this change in our Mid-Year Outlook (page 47), but it is worth repeating the concept as we would expect changes in Pillar 2G still to be relevant in 2

45、020 in that they will result in further debut small-sized issuers.The crux of the matter is that as of today, banks can double-count some resources and this will soon stop. Those banks meeting Pillar 1 subordinated requirements (i.e. 3.5%) with CETI, can also use that equity to meet Pillar 2G which

46、is quite obviously double counting in that the same CETI can be use to meet both requirements (Pillar 1 and Pillar 2G) simultaneously. But that will change next year and in that way create a greater incentive to issue Tier 2 and ATI to meet Pillar 1 requirements and free-up equity to meet Pillar 2G.

47、 We think that this forthcoming change in Pillar 2G is one factor which partially explains the sudden burst of new issuers in the subordinated space and should result in further debut issuers in 2020.Figure 133: 2019 AT1 Issuance (bn)MREL SubordinationWe open this segment with some caveats, given th

48、e degree of complexity of the underlying “subordination concept to which we committed an in-depth note earlier this year: Seniors Only”. For the purposes of reviewing NPS and HoldCo supply, however, what is important to remember is that under BRRD2, issuers are due to receive a subordinated MREL requirement to complement the existi
