Occasionally it is said that issuing convertible bonds is better than issuing stock when the firm's shares are undervalued. Supp
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Generally convertible bonds are cheaper than normal corporate bonds since the warrants that allow bondholders to convert them to stocks carry a price. If the stock price is undervalued, so will the warrants. This means that yes, the company will also lose money if they issue convertible bonds.

But what is really important here is what action results in the lowest loss. Issuing common stock will probably result in higher losses than issuing convertible bonds.
