Primary prices more than $3.5 billion; Delta flies high; Energizer flat; L Brands trades up

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., Sept. 17 – Four issuers conducted drive-bys in the junk bond primary market on Thursday and one deal cleared the calendar for over $3.5 billion of new business.

Meanwhile, the secondary space was soft on Thursday as equities sold off on the heels of a Federal Reserve announcement.

The deluge of new paper was also beginning to take its toll on the secondary space with some recent deals falling flat.

Energizer Holdings, Inc.’s 4 3/8% senior notes due 2029 (B2/B+) and Restaurant Brands International, Inc.’s 4% senior notes due 2030 (B2/B+) were largely wrapped around their issue prices in active trading on Thursday.

However, L Brands, Inc.’s 6 5/8% senior notes due 2030 (B2/B+) were trading at a large premium.

Delta Air Lines Inc. and SkyMiles IP Ltd.’s two tranches of senior notes (Baa1//BBB) soared in high-volume activity in the aftermarket.

Meanwhile, funds pared their losses from the previous week with high-yield mutual and exchange-traded funds seeing inflows of $526 million through Wednesday’s close, according to the Refinitiv Lipper US Fund Flows report.

Funds had outflows of $769 million the previous week, which was only the second outflow in the past 10 weeks, sources said.
