Conclusion:
The first issue of KTG Agrar AG (5-year term, coupon 6.750%) recorded just before the announcement of the second emission at about 106%, making it one of the next Dürr bond of the most successful medium-sized loans at all. The short slide of recent days, we see only in the emission of new bonds due, obviously, profits taken in order to buy a new bond can. With a term of 6 years is the coupon for the new Bond 7.125%. Thus, a successful performance of the second bond is likely. We recommend to subscribe.
However, it seems the correction of the first bond KTG (WKN A1ELQU) exaggerated. It offers courses at a yield of about 102% (YTM) of 6.2%. Since the first bond-KTG on 15.10.2015 is due (and well ahead of the second), it is estimated to be more secure than the second. For in the ranking, it is structurally before the second - because it is previously repaid.
