By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., March 4 – The domestic high-yield primary market returned to action on Wednesday with two deals pricing and one more joining the forward calendar.

Charter Communications Inc. priced a $2.5 billion two-tranche offering (B1/BB/BB+), which included new 12-year senior unsecured notes and a tap of CCO Holdings LLC and CCO Holdings Capital Corp.’s 4½% senior notes due 2030.

Science Applications International Corp. priced $400 million eight-year senior notes (B1/BB-).

And Del Monte Foods, Inc. started a roadshow on Wednesday for a $575 million offering of seven-year senior secured notes.

Meanwhile, the secondary space rebounded on Wednesday on the heels of the Super Tuesday election results with the market, in general, up about ½ point, sources said.

With Joe Biden now a frontrunner in the Democratic primary, health care names were rallying on the prospect of a defeat of Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All,” policy initiative.
