As I mentioned Tuesday, HRB bonds were strong and the stock should follow suit. Well, while the equity was down on Tuesday (less than 10bps, but still) I still like the thesis and the trade. Bonds continued strong today with the 14s trading at par, so a minor equity dip doesn't scare us off.
I think the fundamentals warrant a higher price (not saying this is a gem of a company - given OptionOne and their RAL problem, just that the company is currently undervalued) and momentum is on my side.
Also, still a better buyer of 13s relative to 14s in the senior debt.
Great call. Got long HRB and feeling good.
