Notable Quotes 2
Since EBITDA expanded rapidly in 2011 as a by-product of North American producers having a feedstock cost advantage over its competitors in Europe and Asia, NOVA Chemicals has been operating with a very conservative balance sheet with net debt near zero over that period.
On a relative value basis, we believe that the NOVA Chemicals 4.875% Senior Notes '24, 5.000% Senior Notes '25 and 5.250% Senior Notes '27 offer attractive ynev of 4.69%, 4.81% and 5.15%, respectively, which compares favorably to its peer group.
