S&P assigns Hess Midstream notes BB+

S&P said it assigned BB+ issue-level and 3 recovery ratings to Hess Midstream Operations LP's (HESM) expected $400 million senior unsecured debt issuance. The 3 recovery rating indicates an expectation that lenders would receive meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) recovery in default.

HESM’s BB+ issuer credit rating is unchanged, S&P said.

The partnership plans to use the proceeds to repay borrowings on the revolving credit facility, which were used to fund the repurchase of about $400 million of class B units from its two sponsors, Hess Corp. and Global Infrastructure Partners.

The outlook is stable.
