Stellus Capital: The 12% Yield Could Be At Risk (Rating Downgrade)
Stellus Capital Investment's dividend pay-out ratio reached 100% in Q3, eliminating the margin of safety and increasing dividend risk. The rise in non-accruals to 4.7% and higher realized losses justify downgrading the stock rating from 'Buy' to 'Hold'. Despite new loans boosting future net investment income, the current high pay-out ratio and credit quality concerns outweigh potential benefits.
