QIC flags AUD corporate hybrid issuance surge to A$7.5 billion in 2025
  • QIC flagged a sharp rebound in AUD non-financial corporate hybrids, with issuance at about AUD 7.5 billion in 2025.
  • Supply stayed heavy in 2026, with AUD 5.4 billion priced through June 2, following near-zero issuance in 2023.
  • APRA’s plan to phase out bank Additional Tier 1 from Jan. 1, 2027 is redirecting income demand toward corporate hybrids.
  • Moody’s 2024 methodology lift to 50% equity credit for qualifying hybrids is strengthening issuer incentives to sell the structure.
  • QIC expects higher spread sensitivity and weaker liquidity than senior debt, urging relative-value checks versus senior curves to price subordination risk.
