Junk Debt Laden Convergint Facing Coronavirus Crisis

By: John Honovich, Published on Apr 08, 2020

Convergint has $1+ billion in junk debt putting significant pressure on the company. While the rapid debt buildup enabled the company to go on an unprecedented acquisition spree, the company is now facing a coronavirus crisis.

IPVM Image

Inside this note, we examine:

  • Why Convergint had named themselves 'gopher sub'
  • What Convergint's debt rating is
  • Why the debt is so poorly rated, i.e., 'junk'
  • What mistakes the bond rater made that make the debt even risker
  • How coronavirus has impacted the company
  • Why Convergint has far more coronavirus risk than other integrators
  • How Convergint 'fun and laughter' contrasts with Convergint massive junk debt
  • What role Convergint's private equity owner can play in this crisis
  • What the future holds for Convergint
