Case Study 1: How can users assess an issuer’s ability to pay interest, and detect signs of delayed payments?
Steps 1
Steps 2
**1.** Go to **Bonds → Corporate Bonds → Issuers**.
**2.** Enter the code of the issuer you want to search.
**3.** Check the **Credit Events** column to see whether the issuer has previously violated obligations on principal or interest payments.\
\&#xNAN;*Tip: If an issuer has recorded violations in the past, investors should study its debt-servicing capacity more carefully before future investment decisions.*
**4.** Review the **Expected Bond Repayment Cash Flow** chart to assess upcoming repayment pressure.\
\&#xNAN;*Tip: Switch to Quarterly or Yearly view to check whether the bonds you hold mature before or after the “maturity wall” (peak repayment pressure), which may signal higher risk.*
Steps 3
The above steps serve as guidance only; investors should still conduct in-depth analysis before making their own assessment of an issuer’s debt-servicing capacity.
