Hot Bank Stocks To Invest In 2018


What happened

Shares of satellite communications specialist Intelsat (NYSE:I) had another down day on Thursday, their third in a row, closing down 18.3%.

So what

That makes more than 38% in combined losses since it was announced that Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank would merge its OneWeb satellite company with Intelsat in a 40%-60% deal, with SoftBank owning the 40%.

Crazy as it may sound, SoftBank will be paying $5 a share for its stake once OneWeb and Intelsat have combined, yet right now, investors are charging only $3.65 to sell those very same shares. Why might that be?

The only big news concerning Intelsat today is that Moody’s doesn’t like the merger much. On Wednesday, Moody’s released an analysis calling the deal “credit negative” for holders of Intelsat debt. And there are a lot of them: Intelsat has $15.4 billion in debt on its books.


As Moody’s explains, “Intelsat’s unsecured debt holders will receive combinations of cash, equity and new debt instruments that are significantly less than face value.” For this reason, Moody’s is interpreting the deal as a “limited default.”
