When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

Gladstone Investment has been one of my favorite monthly income plays in the BDC sector since late 2023. While the returns have been slightly below sector average, the base dividend has become even safer and the price appreciation potential has also improved. In this article, I explain in detail why after recent earnings report, GAIN, in my view, could be still deemed as an attractive monthly income investment.

We take a look at the action in business development companies through the second week of October and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs were down on the week, with PSEC and TPVG underperforming. GAIN's large special dividend led to a significant stock rally pre-ex-div date; the dividend capture strategy proved ineffective, as the stock opened down more than the dividend.

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2024 / Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq:GAIN) (the "Company") announced today that its board of directors declared the following monthly cash distributions to common stockholders.

Gladstone Investment slightly outperformed in terms of NAV growth, with positive surprises in portfolio company valuations. Adjusted NII slightly underperformed, with minimal activity in the investment portfolio and a decrease in annualized yield. GAIN reported an average quarter overall, with no significant changes in risk/performance rating or percentage recommendation range.

Assessing Gladstone Investment's Performance For Q2 2024

Gladstone Investment Corporation's dividend coverage has deteriorated, with a 100% pay-out ratio, raising the risk of a dividend cut. The central bank's recent rate cuts negatively impact Gladstone's floating-rate debt investments, worsening the risk/reward profile. Gladstone's stock trades at a 9% premium to NAV, which is unjustified given its weakened pay-out metrics and interest rate outlook.

We take a look at the action in business development companies through the third week of September and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs were flat this week, with GAIN leading the upside due. The impact of the Fed Funds rate cut on BDC income incentive fees will become a key driver of NII differentiation once the policy rate troughs.

The fears of BDC dividends becoming unsustainable are rising. The primary driver for this is falling interest rates. While I fully appreciate this risk, in my opinion, by being very selective, investors can keep their attractive BDC dividends safe.

The Federal Reserve's recent rate cut will have a complex impact on business development companies. Many BDCs will face headwinds due to falling net investment income as SOFR begins to fall. MAIN and GAIN's focus on equity investments differentiates them from typical BDCs.

On a YTD basis, Gladstone Investment has delivered flat total return performance. The most recent earnings report included some negatives that fully warrant a more cautionary stance by the market.

It is very likely that for most BDCs, the earnings have peaked and the direction of travel is unfavorable. There are both structural and transitory headwinds that put a pressure on earnings, rendering the dividend coverage levels potentially unsustainable. In this article, I share three pillars that have to be in place in BDC dividend investor portfolio to mitigate the risk of experiencing a cut in their income streams.

3 Pillars To Minimize BDC Dividend Cut Risk In Your Portfolio

Gladstone Investment is a rather unique BDC with a focus on buy-outs, providing both debt and equity financing, leading to higher potential returns but with greater risk. Recent earnings disappointed, causing a share price drop, but this presents a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors comfortable with volatility. Current valuation and yield are more attractive after the price drop, making GAIN a more attractive potential opportunity for income-focused, long-term investors.

Gladstone Investment is a BDC focusing on lower middle market US entities with EBITDA of $4m to $15m, with a stock trading at a 2.5% premium to NAV. GAIN's portfolio is oriented around floating-rated debt investments, while its debt structure is mostly fixed-rated, which increases the interest-rate related risk. GAIN's non-accruals have increased significantly and the share of first lien loans is lower than in the case of some more defensive and higher-quality BDCs.
