BlackRock Income Trust (BKT) remains a sell due to persistent earnings shortfalls and ongoing NAV erosion, despite a 9.6% dividend yield. BKT's reliance on agency mortgage securities and moderate leverage exposes it to elevated interest rate risks and limits portfolio diversification. The fund consistently pays out more than it earns, accelerating capital erosion and underperforming peers like PDI in both total return and distribution sustainability.
