BDC sector prices end the summer on a quiet note. The BDC Reporter offers up multiple scenarios of what might lie ahead, including its own prediction of where we go from here.
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.
BDC sector prices came roaring back after Thursday’s sharp drop. Otherwise, though, there was little news except that credit conditions continue to improve.
BDC prices – but not the major indices – hit an air pocket. We speculate as to the reasons and explain why we’re not sweating – yet. We also mention some miscellaneous BDC news.
We undertake an in-depth review of Apollo Investment’s portfolio and a multitude of underperforming companies. The BDC Reporter names names and projects what likely ultimate losses might look like.
For a second day, both the major indices and BDC sector prices pull back. Also a larger BDC issues new debt at a very low yield while a peer redeems its Term Preferred, plus another BDC discloses insider ownership
