To prioritize the prospects for originating a hybrid bond transaction, a bank should look at each entity's historical use of hybrid capital and their recent level of activity in the capital markets regarding this specific instrument. 1. **Entity A (ØRSTED A/S)** is the most promising prospect. The data shows that the company is highly active in managing its hybrid capital stack. They not only have a substantial amount of hybrid capital (growing from 13.2 billion DKK in 2021 to 19.8 billion DKK in 2023), but they also dynamically manage it through recurring issuance and liability management exercises. In both 2021 and 2022, they issued new hybrid capital (7.3 billion DKK and 3.7 billion DKK respectively) and repurchased existing hybrid capital (3.0 billion DKK and 1.9 billion DKK respectively). This consistent, year-over-year active utilization makes them a prime, recurring fee-generating client for a bank's syndicate and liability management teams. 2. **Entity B (ENEL - SPA)** is the second most promising prospect. They are a massive utility and an established issuer of hybrid bonds, with a steady outstanding balance of €5.57 billion in perpetual hybrid bonds under their equity umbrella in 2022 and 2023. While they successfully issued €3.18 billion in hybrid bonds in 2021, they did not issue or repurchase any hybrid bonds in 2022. Given their large existing portfolio of hybrids, they remain a strong prospect for upcoming refinancings or new issues, though they showed less immediate hybrid market activity in the most recent reported year compared to Entity A. 3. **Entity C (A2A S.p.A.)** is the least promising prospect in the near term. A review of their financials reveals absolutely no outstanding hybrid capital, perpetual bonds, or related historical issuances. While utility companies are generally good candidates for hybrid bonds, pitching a debut hybrid capital structure to a company requires significantly more time, education, and structural alignment compared to serving a repeat issuer who already has hybrid bonds embedded in their capital strategy.
