ams OSRAM raises €1bn in new notes to cut debt and interest costs

ams-OSRAM ( (CH:AMS) ) has issued an update.

ams OSRAM has priced an increased €1 billion issue of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2032 with a 7.25% coupon, following strong investor demand that led to oversubscription and an upsized offering. Management positions the deal as a key step in its Digital Photonics-focused strategy and in delivering positive free cash flow from 2027 without relying on divestment proceeds.

The proceeds, together with existing cash, will be used to fully refinance high‑coupon U.S. dollar notes and partially repay expensive euro notes due 2029, cutting annual interest costs by about €40 million and smoothing the company’s debt maturity profile. The transaction supports an ongoing deleveraging program, complements recent asset sales and credit facility extensions, and is intended to strengthen ams OSRAM’s balance sheet while preserving capacity to invest in growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:AMS) stock is a Buy with a CHF23.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ams-OSRAM stock, see the CH:AMS Stock Forecast page.
