Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from BDC's reported EPS growth of 43.1% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of 43% reflects a recovery from a low base and won't persist. Capped at 30% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$22.27
Implied price
$423.08
Return from $135.90
25.5% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $210.35 — today's price is already 35.4% below that.

How sensitive is that answer?

Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.

40.0%25.3%30.6%35.2%39.2%42.8%

This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

    Capital Southwest: My New Favorite BDC Play Capital Southwest is expanding its committed investments while adding portfolio companies, indicating gradual growth with increasing diversification. The loan book is mostly floating rate, but its debt is mostly fixed rate. This should lift spread yields in the hawkish rates environment expected over the next year. Credit quality is worth tracking as average ratings, non‑accruals, and PIK income are rising, but there is no cause for alarm yet.

    Goldman Sachs BDC: This 13% Yield May Be A Value Trap Goldman Sachs BDC continues to exhibit below-average investment quality, with persistent portfolio shrinkage and elevated non-accruals. GSBD's Q2 dividend dropped 40% year-over-year, reflecting ongoing pressure from non-accrual loans and a contracting asset base. Despite a high 118.8% dividend coverage ratio in Q2'26, GSBD's non-accrual ratio remains the second-highest among peers, undermining investor confidence.

    Kayne Anderson BDC's 11%+ Yield Just Got Another Vote Of Confidence KBDC stands out as a rare externally managed BDC worth holding, despite typical structural drawbacks. Recent Q2 results showed declining NII and NAV, higher leverage, and increased non-accruals, but underlying drivers suggest near-term improvement. KBDC trades at a 15% discount to NAV, with NII per share expected to rise next quarter due to portfolio rotation and higher spreads.

    Crescent Capital BDC: I'm Much Less Optimistic Than Wall Street CCAP cut its dividend by 19% a few months ago. But I expect another dividend cut, as I see several signals of struggling NII. NII dropped nearly 22% year-over-year to $0.36 per share, leaving only a 6% margin of safety over the current base dividend and heightening payout risk.
