Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from FDUS's reported EPS growth of 1.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.50
- Implied price
- $20.01
- Return from $19.29
- 0.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $9.95 — -48.4% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -8.5% | -20.9% | -14.3% | -9.2% | -5.0% | -1.5% |
| -3.5% | -16.6% | -9.6% | -4.2% | 0.1% | 3.9% |
| 1.5% | -12.3% | -4.9% | 0.7% | 5.3% | 9.2% |
| 6.5% | -8.0% | -0.2% | 5.7% | 10.5% | 14.6% |
| 11.5% | -3.7% | 4.5% | 10.7% | 15.7% | 20.0% |
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.

2 Higher Yield Plays With Decent Valuations To Consider Dividend investors can often be grouped between high-yield investors and dividend growth investors. Today, I'm looking at the higher-yielding income-focused investor and providing two potential opportunities. One of these names also gets to deliver a higher relative yield but has over 35 years of consecutive dividend raises under its belt as well, a blend of both.

Two 11%+ Yielding External BDCs Built For Long-Term Compounding Externally managed BDCs face structural challenges, notably high fees and misaligned incentives, making them difficult portfolio inclusions. I favor internally managed BDCs for long-term value, but selectively own some external names as well. There could be two motives for owning external ones: 1) tactical trades (high risk, high retur) and 2) long-term income compounding.

Fidus Investment: Paying Up For Quality Has Its Limits Fidus Investment experienced a near-term lag versus the BDC sector, as anticipated, due to tough Q2 comps and market sensitivity to NII declines. While Q2 brought in balanced results (and thus no abnormally high comp for Q3), I am still reluctant to turn bullish here. My dilemma is paying a premium to NAV and an even more aggressive premium compared to other externally managed BDCs, given the current fundamentals.

25 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
