The indices mostly dropped modestly on Thursday, but the BDC sector was somewhat worse. There was no news to review, but we made progress dissecting a mid-sized BDC’s credit performance status.
After several days of angst, the major indices – and the BDC sector – bounced back with vim and vigor. Also, a mid-sized BDC increased its regular distribution for a second quarter in a row. We discuss what that might mean for the stock price.
All the major indices were in the red, including the BDC sector – just less so. At long last, a smaller BDC published its 10-K, officially ending BDC earnings season. Also one large cap BDC added new lenders and another made a presentation at a (virtual) conference.
The major indices – and BDC sector prices – were mixed on Monday. On the news front, a leading venture debt player raised a substantial amount of debt at a very low rate. We discuss the implications , both in the short term and long term.
BDC sector prices dropped in post-holiday week, but not very far. Not much is happening on the news front, but credit conditions continue to ameliorate – always important for anyone invested in the BDC arena.
BDC sector prices moved in a surprising direction given the across the board drop in the major indices. Also, we review a dividend announcement and identify potentially very good news at a troubled portfolio company of a mid-sized BDC.
All the major indices were in the red on Wednesday, but the BDC sector held up better than might have been expected. News was limited to the basic details of a new transaction financed by an ever busy mid-sized BDC. We dig a little deeper and provide more background details.
The first day of the business week did not go well for the BDC sector. We discuss the details. Also, we review new investments by a popular BDC; new unsecured debt planned by a venture-debt behemoth and new equity raised by a pint sized player.

September began very slowly where BDC prices were concerned, and there was no news to report. On the credit front, though, we learned more about how the bankruptcy of Sequential Brands might play out. That’s important to two large BDCs.
August ended with a whimper where the major indices, and the BDC sector, were concerned. We run the numbers and discuss a just redeemed Baby Bond and a major corporate bankruptcy affecting two large cap BDCs.

BDC sector prices move up only days after a sharp downturn. We make the case for why BDC investors should remain optimistic.

All major indices – and the BDC sector – moved up in price on Monday. Some records were broken. There was news about an expected reverse stock issuance for a small BDC and lowered financing costs at a major player. We also synthesize several studies to discuss the outlook for leveraged lending, partly leaning on data in the BDC Credit Table.
A wild week for BDC common stock prices, but only a modicum of news. The BDC Reporter covers both both in our weekly recap.
