S&P affirms NuStar Energy

S&P said it affirmed its BB corporate credit rating on NuStar Energy LP.

The outlook is negative.

The agency also affirmed the BB issue-level rating on NuStar's senior unsecured debt based on the 3 recovery rating, which indicates a view that lenders can expect meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) recovery if a payment default occurs.

In addition, S&P affirmed the B+ rating on the company's subordinated debt based on the 6 recovery rating, reflecting an expectation of negligible (0%-10%; rounded estimate: 0%) recovery.

The negative outlook reflects a view that despite the simplification and distribution reset, NuStar's leverage will remain above 7.25 times in 2018.
