Two BDCs For 60 Cents On The Dollar: 1 To Buy And 1 To Avoid
BDCs have gone through a notable repricing. Some of them are trading now at a deep discount territory. These deep discounts enhance the risk to reward ratios, especially for those that have been unfairly punished.

BDCs Offer The First Good Buying Opportunity After The Tariff Shock
The market tanked after Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq experiencing significant declines due to recession fears and trade war concerns, which spiked credit spreads. Rising credit spreads hurt BDCs, which are sensitive to default risk and borrowing costs, leading to sharp declines in their share prices. Credit spreads are still below 2022 highs and may decline if Trump rolls back tariffs to avoid inflation and pressure the Fed to cut rates.

A Big BDC Catalyst That Can Change The Game Dramatically
BDCs have been pushed into the (on average) ~19% discount territory. In my view, steep discounts are justified for the majority of the BDCs. Yet, for some (high-quality ones) the market has gone too far.

BDCs Are In Trouble, But In These Two I'm Increasing My Stakes
BDCs have performed worse than the S&P 500. It is logical since private credit is per definition a high-risk asset class. All in all, many BDCs are in trouble.

Very Bad News For BDCs: How To Play President Trump's Tariff Volatility
The business development company, or BDC, sector's strong run appears to be coming to an end. The dividend party may be over, and I share one sector favorite whose dividend may surprisingly be in trouble. I also share one BDC, whose dividend remains relatively safe and its stock trades at a compelling valuation.

BIZD: Would Go For A Constituent Part
We question the value of an ETF of already diversified portfolios, but that's more beside the point in this volatile market moment. Credit spreads have risen on recession fears hitting BIZD, which while fixed income, is absolutely not free of cycle risks. BIZD's implied credit rating is between B and CCC, with yields around 10%. There isn't a relative valuation issue, but we think credit spreads could keep rising.

2 BDCs To Sell Before They Announce Dividend Cuts
Private credit and BDC sectors have faced steep losses, with the BDC index down nearly 15% YTD, worse than the S&P 500. Economic uncertainties, stagnant M&A/LBO markets, potential Fed rate cuts negatively impact BDCs, especially those with weak margin of safety. In the article I discuss two BDCs, which are, in my view, about to cut their dividends this year.
