2 High Yield BDCs With Exceptional Value To Price Ratio
BDC investing is primarily about income with less emphasis on growth. One way to activate the second (price appreciation) component is through investing in heavily discounted BDCs. The other, more prudent approach is to invest in high-quality BDCs that should deserve higher premium, where from a price-to-value convergence, investors could enhance the total return performance.

5 BDCs With High Dividend Resistance To Falling Interest Rates
The financial outlook for many BDCs is not promising. Already lower base rates will continue to depress results in Q4 reports. The trajectory for SOFR is not great either.

Dividend Cut Alert: 2 BDCs With Likely Lower Dividends In 2025
BDCs offer attractive opportunities for income investors to enhance their portfolio yields. Yet, since the yields are so enticing, the chances are high for getting caught in value traps.

Gladstone Capital's Dividend Coverage May Be In Trouble
Gladstone Capital focuses on providing alternative financing to US lower middle-market companies, with a portfolio heavily concentrated in debt investments. Despite recent interest rate cuts, GLAD's net investment income still covers its regular monthly dividend payments, though future cuts may challenge this coverage. GLAD typically trades at a premium to net asset value, aiding capital gathering, but economic and Fed-related uncertainties may lead to higher stock price volatility.

Gladstone Capital: Q4 Reveals Weakened Dividend Coverage
I maintain a hold rating on Gladstone Capital due to a weaker distribution coverage, lack of non-accrual improvements, and premium price valuation. Gladstone's portfolio strategy focuses on senior secured debt, providing lower risk and stability, but the recent slowdown in new investments is concerning. GLAD stock's current dividend yield of 7.7% is attractive, but the potential for a dividend cut exists if interest rates continue to fall and negatively impact earnings.
