When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
We present for consideration a credit risk-free pair trade: long DUKB (baby bond) and short DUK-A (preferred), capitalizing on mean reversion between these two Duke Energy securities. Duke Energy's stable capital structure, strong credit ratings, and reliable dividend history support the safety of taking an exposure to its debt. DUK-A is currently overvalued relative to both DUKB and especially Duke's senior bonds.
