Ocado online supermarket raised £1 billion to capitalize on the rapid change in online grocery shopping habits sparked by the COVID-19 crisis. Ocado raised £657 million through an equity placing and £350 million through a debt issue of guaranteed senior unsecured bonds due to mature in 2027.

This wavering is partly because investors are still reflecting on the £1 billion hoard the company raised last week.
