BDC Stock Recent News

Trinity Capital offers a diversified asset mix and floating-rate exposure, making it a compelling passive income vehicle in a higher-for-longer rate environment. Consistent dividend coverage and a 14% yield, with potential for a 2% dividend hike in 2Q25, underscore its strong income potential. The BDC's net investment income surged 26% YoY in 3Q24, driven by new originations and higher interest rates, supporting future growth.

I maintain my buy rating on Goldman Sachs BDC due to its strong dividend coverage, diverse portfolio, and attractive valuation despite recent price declines. GSBD's portfolio is well-constructed, with a focus on first lien senior secured debt. Earnings currently support the 14.7% dividend yield, making it appealing for income investors. The higher interest rate environment has impacted GSBD's portfolio quality, but non-accrual rates have improved, and management continues to invest in new opportunities.

GBDC's diversified borrower base and unique industry focus, with a low non-accrual rate, supports its defensive investment position. As GBDC's regular dividend coverage can withstand a few more cuts, the current regular DPS yield of 10.2% can be considered an attractive risk-to-reward opportunity.

I am downgrading my rating on Barings BDC due to a slight uptick in non-accruals, lower earnings, and weaker dividend coverage. Despite a 10.7% dividend yield and a well-diversified portfolio, I expect no sizeable dividend raises as net investment income is projected to decrease. The recent 5% price drop presents an entry point, but the NAV decline and higher non-accrual rate raise concerns about future performance.

The All Weather Portfolio concept introduced by Ray Dalio aims for stable returns through largely uncorrelated investment exposures. In this article, I have tried to apply the essence of such a construct for BDC dividend-seeking investments. The sample portfolio, which is presented in the article, consists of three structural layers that are not that correlated and offer different risk and reward profiles.
