  • ION Platform's September 2032 bond climbed 3.5 cents to 78.6 after the financial software provider posted second-quarter results that beat estimates and eased concern among bondholders.
  • Revenue rose 5.1% year over year to $634.5 million, while EBITDA increased 14.3% to $430.9 million, according to an investor presentation seen by Bloomberg.
  • Lower cash payments to ION's parent company added to the reassurance for investors in the company's previously beaten-down debt.
