As we anticipated in our prior Recap, BDC prices fell sharply this week. Is that the death knell of the nearly two-year long BDC rally we hear or just another head fake by a jittery market?
Oaktree Specialty Lending’s stock price just reached a low point. We consider what factors might be weighing on investors minds.
Interest rates – finally – seem set to drop shortly. This pushed the major indices to new highs. A little surprisingly, BDC prices rose as well. What comes next?
After reviewing performance over the holiday week, the BDC Reporter debates both the BDC Bulls and BDC Bears about how the future might play out. As they say: “It’s Complicated:”.
The end of month, end of quarter BDC price data was confusing – if not misleading. However, if we look back a little further, some market trends are clear – both positive and negative for BDC investors.
The S&P 500 continues to climb but the BDC sector cannot keep up. For a second week in a row, we wonder if the BDC sector has come off the boil.
We tackle the complicated subject of FS-KKR Capital’s recent performance and whether this huge BDC is turning the credit corner after years of poor performance.
This week may have seen BDC prices at their peak of the year but maybe not. We review the metrics and hypothesize as to why prices dropped even as the major indices charged ahead.
The major indices out-performed the BDC sector this week but the rally marches on. This week, though, we take a deeper look at the worst performing BDC stocks.
The BDC rally marches on, seemingly disconnected from the rest of the markets and impervious to the slings and arrows of Jamie Dimon. We use the opportunity to review the sector’s year-to-date 2024 price performance.
We’re re-publishing an article from our sister publication – the BDC Credit Reporter – about Bain Capital’s most recent credit performance, which includes a list of its most troubled borrowers.

We’re posting with a little delay – which we explain in the Foreword. The week ended May 17, 2024 saw BDC stocks falling behind the major indices but is this the pause that refreshes or a turning point?
The BDC sector – and most of its constituent stocks – are in rally mode, along with the major indices – breaking all sorts of records. We provide much color on who is up and who is left out and then tackle the increasingly thorny issue of where the market goes from here. Get this wrong and there’s a lot to lose.
The major indices moved up sharply this week but the BDC sector not so much. Nonetheless, there was plenty of good news for individual BDC stocks despite a lackluster start to earnings season.
Both the major indices and the BDC sector are moving along strongly. We review the overall metrics and individual BDCs. We also list out some of the players that might disappoint once IQ 2024 earnings season begins shortly.

The BDC sector had a mediocre week price-wise but not as bad as the major indices. With little breaking news to report, we review in detail 2024’s performance to date and identify the winners and losers.
Both the major indices and the BDC sector had a loss-making week but the damage to both was only modest whatever the headline writers suggest. Also, the macro environment might provide BDC prices with a boost if new credit difficulties don’t spoil things.
The week, March and the first quarter of 2024 end on a stronger note but well behind the broader market. We review who has prospered and who has been left behind this week and this quarter and evaluate how much room is left for further price growth.
