OUTFRONT is doing what?
Publisher’s Note:
OUTFRONT is creating $450 Million in debt at rate of 7.375% interest to pay off debt at a 6.25% interest rate which is not due until 2025. Why wouldn’t they wait until 2024 to do so? I suspect if they are confident the cost of that debt would be higher than the 7.375% would be one reason but couldn’t the cost of money over the next 12 month go the other way as well? Couple this move with the recent announced pending sale of their Canadian operations (OUTFRONT SELLS Canadian Assets to Bell) which will provide them with $300 million, begs the question; What is the strategy for requiring all that cash, now? Speculation is thick with conjecture. Best to not follow the money in this case but rather it’s best to get in front of the money. What are your thoughts?
