The market assumes Genting Group's perpetual bonds are high-risk given leverage and subordination.
Net leverage peaks at 3.5x in 2026E and improves to 3.2x by 2028E, well within IG thresholds, while New York casino EBITDA is projected to nearly double from US$225m to US$415m by 2028E.
The wide spread on GENT perps relative to seniors and peers offers a compelling entry point ahead of technical and fundamental catalysts.
