Nope. Will just say if cov-lite or not.
Thanks. One more Q if you don't mind. Can you perform screen with a specific keywords like bankruptcy or spinoff on Bloomberg?
Yep.
BBRG does show covenants (#14 from the DES screen)
However, unless it is a public bond, the details may be limited to Yes/No.
Wouldn't rely on this for any real work. For covenants you need to dive into the indenture/credit agreement and track definitions, etc.
Covenants on Bloomberg are garbage. They’re on there but no detail, no nuance, and often outright wrong. Get the credit agreement / indenture every time
Agree with other posters, BBG has pretty bad accuracy or availability when it comes to covenants. Unfortunately you will need to read the credit/loan/debenture agreement but there should be covenants section.
