Cano Health, Community Health distressed paper mostly quiet; distressed returns soft

By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Feb. 5 – Cano Health LLC’s paper slowed in secondary trading ahead of a long-expected Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on Sunday.

The 6¼% senior notes due 2028 (C/D) last moved on Jan. 25 on a 7 bid handle with only a handful of trades seen in 2024 and in December, a source said.

The health care space registered a number of bankruptcies and defaults in 2023 and health care-related default candidates are being eyed this year from bond issuers including Radiology Partners Inc., Community Health, Bausch Health Cos., Inc. and Diversified Healthcare Trust, sources said.

Jefferies LLC analyst Brian Tanquilut said in a note released on Monday to Prospect News the firm has a “cautiously positive view” on the health care services space for 2024.

CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc.’s 6 1/8% senior secured second-lien notes due 2030 (Caa3/CCC-/CCC-) failed to attract much secondary interest over the session and were last seen on Friday at 66¼ bid, a source said.

The 6 7/8% senior secured second-lien notes due 2029 (Caa3/CCC-/CCC-) fell about ½ point to just under 69 bid in thin activity on Monday.

Meanwhile, S&P U.S. High Yield Corporate Distressed Bond index year-to-date total return losses widened to minus 2.35% on Friday from negative 2.33% at the week’s start.
