TransDigm, Baytex hold premiums; Vital Energy adds; Encore outperforms in junkland

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., March 15 – On a quiet Friday in the junk bond primary market, the secondary space closed the week on soft footing with the cash bond market off another 1/8 point, a source said.

While the market was largely sideways following Tuesday’s Consumer Price Index print, the Producer Price Index report released Thursday sent a risk-off sentiment through the market.

New issues remained in focus with recent deals continuing to put in strong aftermarket performances.

Encore Capital Group, Inc.’s 9¼% senior secured notes due 2029 (Ba2/BB+) outperformed with buyers continuing to chase the notes in the secondary.

Vital Energy Inc.’s 7 7/8% senior notes due 2032 (B2/B) continued to add after a strong break.

TransDigm Inc.’s 6 3/8% senior secured notes due 2029 (Ba3/B+) moved in a flurry of activity following the sizeable add-on that priced during Thursday’s session.

While below their previous levels, the notes held a healthy premium to the add-on price.

Baytex Energy Corp.’s 7 3/8% senior notes due 2032 (B1/BB-/BB-) also maintained the healthy premium to their discounted offer price gained on the break despite a soft day for the market.
