FS KKR Capital: Buy The Drop, Lock In A 13% Yield
FS KKR Capital offers high dividend income and upside revaluation potential, trading at only a slight premium to its 3-year average P/NAV ratio. I rate FS KKR Capital a strong buy due to its potential to move towards healthier balance sheet quality and lower its non-accrual percentage. FS KKR Capital under-earned its regular dividend with NII in the last quarter as its non-accrual percentage increased slightly Q/Q.

FS KKR Capital: The Discount Is Not Enough, And Dividend Cut Likely
Before FSK circulated its Q4 report, I issued a bearish piece, realizing my 27% returns and suggesting investors to avoid the investment. Since then the share price has increased by 5%, but the underlying fundamentals have become worse. Plus, Q4 was a miss. In this article I explain in more details why I still recommend investors to think twice before deploying capital in FSK stock.

FS KKR: Q4 Earnings Warrant Caution (Rating Downgrade)
FS KKR Capital is downgraded to a hold due to declining NAV, weakening net investment income, and a shrinking total asset value. FSK's portfolio strategy includes a diverse $13.5B portfolio with 63.8% in senior secured debt, benefiting from high-interest rates. Although non-accruals haven't substantially increased, we can see an uptick in PIK interest income.

Tactical BDCs For Sizable Income And Alpha: 1 To Buy, 1 To Avoid
Since BDCs carry in general above-average risks, it makes sense to prioritize defensive and prudently structured picks. Yet, if the price is right, higher risk BDCs could also become enticing investments. In this article, I discuss two tactical or higher risk BDCs - one of which is a buy, and the other one, in my view, should be avoided.
