Morning Commentary: Dominion Resources selling $25-par notes; Bluerock prices; Stifel trades higher

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, July 12 – As the preferred stock market continued to see modest gains, the new issue calendar expanded.

Dominion Resources Inc. announced plans to sell at least $250 million of 2016 series A $25-par junior enhanced subordinated notes due 2076 on Tuesday.

Price talk is 5.375% to 5.5%.

The deal is coming via BofA Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities LLC.

A trader said the new notes were in a $24.95 bid, par offered context in the early gray market.

Meanwhile, Bluerock Residential Growth REIT Inc. officially priced its offering of series C cumulative redeemable preferreds, a deal first announced on Monday. The company sold $50 million of the preferreds at par to yield 7.625%.

Price talk was initially in the 7.75% area before it was revised to 7.625%.

A trader said he had not seen any markets for the paper, though he said there was a $25 bid in the Street, no offers.

The trader also said that the issue would free to trade later in the day.

Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, D.A. Davidson & Co. and FBR Capital Markets ran the books.

Stifel Financial Corp.’s $150 million of 6.25% series A noncumulative perpetual preferreds – a deal priced Monday – were pegged at $25.35 bid, $25.50 offered.

That issue had also not yet freed from the syndicate, the trader said.

Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc., BofA Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley were the joint bookrunners.

Overall, the market continued to have a positive tone to it. The Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities index was up 8 basis points at mid-morning.
