This report examines relative value opportunities within the high yield services sector. Fundamental analysis was covered in the previous outlook series edition.

High yield services lagged broader market indices during the past year. Certain companies contributed significantly to the sector’s weak overall performance trends.

Investment views within better-rated credits remain mixed based on valuations. Some parking operators appear more attractive than others for investors currently.

Lower-rated bonds show improving outlooks across several equipment rental companies. However, one facility management issuer faces ongoing operational and liquidity challenges.
