Morning Commentary: Medley to bring $25-par notes; Northern Trust holds around par; Vornado dips

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, Aug. 2 – The preferred stock market primary calendar continued to add deals on Tuesday, with Medley LLC’s planned $25 million sale of $25-par unsecured notes due 2026.

“It looks like it is one of many deals they plan to bring, to we should get support on that,” a trader said.

He added that he had yet to see any gray markets for the paper, but he attributed that to the fact that it was a small deal.

Price talk is in the 6.875% area, a market source reported. Incapital LLC, FBR Capital Markets, JonesTrading and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. are running the books.

Meanwhile, Northern Trust Corp.’s $500 million of 4.6% $1,000-par fixed-to-floating rate series D noncumulative preferreds – a deal priced Monday – were pegged at 99.875 bid, 100.125 offered.

In the secondary space, Vornado Realty Trust said late Monday that it intended to redeem all of its outstanding 6.875% series J cumulative redeemable preferreds (NYSE: VNOPJ).

Come Tuesday, the issue was trading off 87 cents, or 3.32%, at $25.30 in early morning trades.

The redemption will occur on Sept. 1 at par plus accrued dividends.
