Bond maturities force companies and CFOs on their toes and revisit their financial commitments. If you look at a lot of these distressed or attacked stocks, they coincides with debt repayments. If one doesnt have to repay perpetuals, whats there to worry? Yet it creates an irony because without principal repayment and refinance, we will lose the market's input on the company's credit well being.
And that relates to cashflow. If a company has tonnes of cash but chooses to refinance debt thats due, it is a red flag. Anyone can read sinoG balance sheet conjured by auditors. However the maturity or show-me-the-money proof of pudding is these 6 weeks. Debt repayment is almost always real cause creditors dont forget
A recent example of an attacked stock that show-me-the-money is LaBiXiaoXin in HK (formerly SGX listed China lifestyle) which recently repaid their debt in February. Its a good case study reference for SinoG if they are able to pay up. Else just hope TTA will average down.
That said if SinoG dont submit A1 form to reduce cost of the CB it also speaks volume and uncertainty, albeit smaller, continues to linger. The incentive framework is clear on this.
