Primary brings $1.2 billion; Freeport-McMoRan at par; Boise Cascade positive

By Paul A. Harris and James McCandless

Portland, Ore., July 14 – The primary market continued to generate a steady flow of news on Tuesday.

Pattern Energy Operations LP came with a green deal, a $700 million issue of eight-year senior notes (Ba3/BB-) that priced at par to yield 4½%.

Meanwhile Melco Resorts Finance Ltd. joined a parade of Macau-based gaming-focused junk issuers to make a pass at the Yankee high-yield bond market since the pandemic began.

Melco priced a $500 million issue of eight-year senior notes (Ba2/BB) at par to yield 5¾%, at the tight end of yield talk in the 5 7/8% area.

On Tuesday, the high-yield secondary saw a focus on recently priced tranches.

Recent issuance from Freeport-McMoRan Inc., Boise Cascade Co. and Alcoa Corp. held the lion’s share of the volume, trending firm.

Elsewhere, Delta Air Lines, Inc.’s issues were pushed down after reporting worse-than-expected results for the second quarter.

REIT Washington Prime Group Inc.’s paper was better as a resurgence in coronavirus cases put pressure on retail-related names.
