Following the past two years\u2019 trend of quickly rising interest rates, companies have been aggressively seeking liquidity, at least according to the data. In the fixed-income space, January and February 2024 were both extremely strong in terms of new corporate bond issuance, according to Bloomberg.<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;This comes as looming debt maturity walls have cast some fears regarding firms\u2019 ability to repay lenders. So far so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association reveals that total US corporate bond supply as of February 2024 was up 31% year-over-year.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;It\u2019s reasonable to conclude that a higher average borrowing cost for multinational corporations is not a major challenge today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-shares-hitting-the-tape\">More Shares Hitting the Tape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there additional clues to be found in the equity issuance arena? Wall Street Horizon tracks dozens of pieces of revealing corporate data, including IPOs and secondary offerings. While the former market continues to run cold, albeit with some optimism for later in the year, it turns out that firms have also turned more active in seeking tack-on equity financing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-increasing-secondaries\">Increasing Secondaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Total secondary offerings are indeed on the rise. The chart below reveals that the first quarter of 2024 paces for yet another annual increase. What\u2019s more, the four-quarter moving average has been trending upward after troughing in the fourth quarter of 2022. This trend, along with intense investment-grade credit hitting the market, could assert that executives are increasingly sanguine about the future of the global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-total-shareholder-offerings-continue-to-recover-after-a-2021-2022-slump\"><strong>Total Shareholder Offerings Continue to Recover After a 2021-2022 Slump<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"705\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645-1100x705.png\" alt=\"Total Shareholder Offerings Continue to Recover After a 2021-2022 Slump\" class=\"wp-image-203388 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645-1100x705.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645-700x449.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/20240312-WSH-Secondary-Offerings7645.png 1236w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/705;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Wall Street Horizon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-economic-and-investment-themes-driving-the-trend\">Key Economic and Investment Themes Driving the Trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is always nuance when interpreting macro and micro data. In this case, follow-on stock offerings could signal increased future capital expenditures amid a growing global economy. While we do not know how the financial proceeds will be deployed, investments into the megatrends of artificial intelligence (AI) and increased \u201cre-shoring\u201d efforts are likely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s encouraging is that corporate balance sheets and profit margins remain healthy, so higher costs of capital today can be more easily absorbed compared to previous economic cycles.<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;A sector to watch is Health Care. The GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and breakthroughs in other medtech areas would benefit from increased spending on research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monitoring-m-amp-a-ipos-and-earnings-reports\">Monitoring M&amp;A, IPOs, and Earnings Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What else could increased corporate liquidity be purposed for? How about mergers and acquisitions?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreethorizon.com\/blog\/January-and-February-MA-Hits-Lowest-Level-Since-2020-Will-March-Pick-Up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">M&amp;A activity has been soft<\/a>&nbsp;over the last handful of quarters, but we have seen a slew of deals in the oil patch.<sup>4<\/sup>&nbsp;Further consolidation across sectors could be sparked by cash infusions that come with secondary stock offerings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bears might point to the risks associated with both higher financial leverage that comes with debt issuance as well as potential dilution that happens mathematically with more shares of stock hitting the market. In today\u2019s market, though, companies are not facing extreme stress. Hence, firms are choosing to tap capital markets rather than being forced to. That is a key difference. Just take a look at the S&amp;P 500 price-to-earnings multiple today north of 20 \u2013 selling shares at relatively pricey levels could end up being a savvy move by some executives.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-future-trends\">Future Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, a slow and steady rise in secondary offering announcements would be a welcome sign to feed a healthy global bull market. If we see a sudden boom in secondaries, it could eventually indicate overheated capital markets, so that would be a risk. Additionally, should the Fed keep its policy rate \u2018higher for longer\u2019 then that could eventually weigh on firms that are more debt-heavy and might make equity financing relatively attractive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies around the world are looking to both debt and equity markets to raise capital. The trend can be viewed positively, but there are always risks that come alongside higher supply in markets. Piecing together what it all means by analyzing other corporate data trends is key. Furthermore, developments in the IPO market, M&amp;A activity, and broad themes in company earnings can all help investors form a well-rounded mosaic of the global marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted March 13, 2024 &#8211; <a
