Portman Ridge Finance Corporation offers a high yield but has shown disappointing returns, with a nearly 20% decline over the past 3 years. The business development company's financials are concerning, with declining net investment income and NAV erosion, raising questions about dividend safety. Despite a 17.19% discount to NAV and spillover income, the dividend coverage is weak, and leverage is above the sector median.
