Another good week for the BDC Sector and most of its constituents, as the rally marches on. We discuss myriad metrics and look at the length of the runway.
National Securities projects two well known BDCs might cut their fees. The BDC Reporter builds on that speculation with one of its own about the BDC Sector as a whole.
The BDC Sector moved up, then down and remained in the same place where it’s been for weeks. Trends are underway – both inside and outside the sector – that could change all that.
In a major move BlackRock,Inc. acquires the manager of TCP Capital. Nothing is going to change for the BDC’s shareholders say the two firms involved. Not so fast says the BDC Reporter.
S&P speaks up about the new BDC leverage rules, expressing concern. Will the credit raters keep BDCs from borrowing to the hilt. If not the rating groups, then who ? We discuss the options and look into a glass. Darkly.
We have an updated look at what’s happening at Avanti Communications and worry all the more about the potential negative impact on Great Elm Corporation and – to a much lesser degree – TCP Capital.
A Wild Week for both the markets and the BDC Sector. Maybe we reached a turning point in BDC history with the new looser leverage rules. Many asset managers think so and some analysts but the BDC Reporter has doubts.
Up, down and all around the BDC Sector moves in this past week. However, the Ides of March still point mostly to Down, as we illustrate.
A weird week where BDC common stocks are concerned. Two major developments in Fixed Income.
The new year begins modestly for BDC common stocks, but there are winners and losers worth mentioning. Fixed Income issues are stable – as always – but face an existential dilemma.
Three BDCs have reached 52 Week lows. We discuss what that might say about the BDC Sector and how investors might want to approach the market.
As investors are otherwise engaged at year end, the most important BDC News is that common stock prices are behaving in unexpected ways. First signs of another sector step-down or a seasonal phenomenon ?
BDC common stocks fighting an undertow and Fixed Income slips too- just a little.
Four BDC stocks are headed to record lows and two are breaking to the upside. BDC price volatility is back with bells on. We discuss each stock in turn.
The first week of BDC Earnings Season and the sector takes another dive down. We discuss who may still join Triangle Capital in reporting disastrous results, and much else. Fixed Income fares better, but the longer term trends should worry BDC debt holders.
