Sounds exactly right. Did it come with a rating?
Expected Ratings: Baa3 (Moody’s)
EB –
BBB- in S&P speak. Thanks for the post.
TDA will take orders but I’m not seeing prices yet.
Probably upper 4’s.
The cdx3 taking over retired Doug Le Du says Temporary symbol WSHAP, not recognized by Fidelity or QOL.com. No info on the coupon dividend either.
John – the ticker comes right from FINRA. A ticker can come out before an issue is trading and even before it prices.
It will start trading today but probably won’t show on brokerage platforms until tomorrow. TDA is usually the earliest of my 4 brokers.
WSHAP
The company has zero other paper than I can see so it should sell well for that reason alone.
If they get it rated I think it will come in at BBB- or BB+ or Moody’s equiv.
