TriplePoint Venture Growth had, and perhaps still has, major issues. One new insider stepped up to buy more shares. We assess the ruins and tell you why we are giving this an upgrade.

TriplePoint Venture: Upgrading The 18% Yielder Ahead Of Q3 Results

TriplePoint Venture Growth offers a high dividend yield but has a risky portfolio and poor net asset value performance, making it a less attractive investment. TriplePoint focuses on tech and venture growth stage companies, which increases potential returns but also elevates risks, especially in a high-interest-rate environment. The company's net asset value has declined consistently, and its high non-accruals and writedowns suggest ongoing financial issues within its portfolio.

BDCs have outperformed REITs since early 2022 due to rising short-term interest rates and a strong economy, but dynamics shifted in July. With long-term rates declining and recession fears rising, BDCs face dividend cut risk. One BDC recently slashed its dividend aggressively and more are likely to follow.

Dividend Cut Alert: Bad News For BDCs

TriplePoint Venture Growth cut its dividend by 25% due to insufficient net investment income and high non-accrual percentages, leading to significant selling pressure on the BDC's shares. The BDC's weak balance sheet quality resulted in a poor distribution coverage profile. The dividend cut, however, should help the BDC improve its distribution coverage going forward.

BDCs receive favorable tax treatment and, in return, they aren't allowed to retain earnings in the same way other companies are.
