Rite Aid notes down after quarterly results; Carnival paper up on strong fourth quarter

By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Dec. 21 – Distressed secondary activity continued to thin on Wednesday as desks clear ahead of the holidays and year-end.

Rite Aid Corp.’s 7½% senior secured notes due 2025 (B3/CCC-/CCC) softened ¾ point in light trading after the drug store chain reported fiscal 2023 third-quarter results, a source said.

The issue went out at 69½ bid on $1.25 million of volume.

Rite Aid reported losses climbed to $1.23 a share from 67 cents a share a year ago.

Carnival Corp. & plc’s bonds saw much of the secondary action on Wednesday after the cruise line operator posted improved fourth-quarter earnings.

The notes were trading about 2¼ points to more than 3 points better on more than $86 million of secondary supply, a source said.

Carnival’s 10½% notes due 2030 (B3/B) added 3 3/8 points to go out the door at 83 5/8 bid on $10.5 million of paper traded on Wednesday.

The company’s 6% notes due 2029 (B3/B) also rose 2¼ points to a quote of 68½ bid on nearly $12 million of secondary volume.

Carnival said Wednesday that fourth-quarter revenue climbed while losses improved from a year ago.
