3 hidden risks that could cause your BDC income to get slashed overnight. Why top names may face sharp declines ahead. The only BDCs we are still buying at High Yield Investor are not the ones you may think.

Market volatility has increased, making it challenging to predict future Treasury rates and impacting the frequency of my article publications. Price-to-book ratios reveal bargains. Preferred shares offer lower risk and high yields; recent trades in DX-C and EFC-B have been profitable.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a business development company (NASDAQ: GBDC, www.golubcapitalbdc.com), announced today that it will report its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 on Monday, May 5, 2025 after the close of the financial markets. Golub Capital BDC, Inc. will host an earnings conference call at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, May 6, 2025 to discuss its quarterly financial results. All interested parties may participate in the conference.

Due to economic uncertainty and a disappointing quarter, I am downgrading Golub Capital BDC from a buy to a hold. Despite misses in the top and bottom lines, GBDC's credit rating upgrade and higher originations are positive signs for future performance. Management expects improved net investment income from higher originations and restructured borrowers, but economic volatility remains a risk.

Inflation is heating up and growth is slowing—here's where the smart money is heading. These two hidden gems offer high income, recession resistance, and inflation protections. One name is quietly yielding over 10% while flying under Wall Street's radar.

The Large Cap Value and Ben Graham Formula strategies identify undervalued, stable stocks with strong fundamentals and low valuations, ideal for long-term investment. Analysts project significant gains (28.24% to 85.64%) from top-ten GASV Dogs by March 2026, based on dividend yields and target prices. Thirteen of nineteen "safer" GASV Dogs are recommended buys, offering reliable dividends and fair pricing relative to their intrinsic value.

A bunch of mortgage REITs were severely overvalued. Now they are less overvalued. But some others are actually bargains. Tons of charts because images are fun. Ellington Financial's higher price-to-book ratio may be due to lower volatility in the total economic return by period. Digital Realty Trust deserves to be mocked. I am reporting for duty!

Part 2 of this article compares GBDC's recent dividend per share rates, yield percentages, and several other highly detailed (and useful) dividend sustainability metrics to 11 other BDC peers. This includes a comparative analysis of GBDC's cumulative undistributed taxable income ratio, percentage of floating-rate debt investments, recent weighted average annualized yield, and weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings. GBDC's “base” dividend sustainability remains strong. When comparing/analyzing all metrics (including additional metrics not mentioned), GBDC is currently deemed to be appropriately valued as a Hold.

Worried about stagflation? These dividend machines could protect your portfolio and pay you up to 10% yields. Stocks you'll want to own before inflation bites again. These picks crush SCHD and VYM in yield—and might just help you sleep better through market chaos.
