Preferreds start strong; Harvest’s new $25-par notes list; CorEnergy trades around par

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Phoenix, Jan. 26 – The preferred stock market managed to stay firm Monday, though a trader noted that the space was on the quiet side as people “worried about New York” and a looming snowstorm.

The Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities index finished up 7 basis points. The index was up 15 bps at mid-morning.

In the recent deal realm, Harvest Capital Credit Corp.’s $25 million of 7% $25-par notes due 2020 started trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on Monday.

The deal priced Thursday. The ticker symbol is “HCAPL.”

The notes closed at $25.72, up 37 cents from the previous trading day.

A trader quoted the issue at $25.60 bid, $25.75 offered early in the session.

Keefe Bruyette & Woods Inc. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC were the joint bookrunning managers. JMP Securities LLC and William Blair & Co. LLC were the co-managers.

Meanwhile, CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust Inc.’s $50 million offering of 7.375% series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock received a temporary symbol of “CRGYP.”

A trader pegged that issue at $24.88 bid, $24.95 offered, though another source saw the shares trading above par.

By the end of the day, the preferreds had dropped 13 cents to $24.90.

The securities had traded as high as $25.35.

That deal also came Thursday via Wells Fargo Securities LLC, BofA Merrill Lynch and Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Inc.
