Mining giant Glencore lends $250 million to rival Vedanta Resources1 Jun 2023 07:40
Calling Glencore’s debt investment as “eleventh-hour reprieve”, analysts say the group will be able to tide over the ongoing crisis. “We remain aware of refinancing risk on VRL’s $4.1-billion debts due in FY24, for which VRL will likely have to rely heavily on external fundraising for a $2.1-billion refinancing and an additional $950 million to plug a funding gap. At this point, we would still lean towards VRL being successful at tying up its $2.1-billion fundraising, given VRL’s recent debt reductions, fresh fundraising efforts and that we think various alternative funding channels remain open for VRL like share pledges and some dividend upstreaming,” said Lakshmanan, a senior analyst with CreditSights.
