Gladstone Capital Corporation·Financial Services

Gladstone Capital is upgraded to a buy, trading at a 10.35% discount to NAV despite stable portfolio performance. GLAD's net investment income rose to $0.52 per share, covering its 9.4% dividend yield with a 116% payout ratio. Portfolio NAV has remained stable year-over-year, while share price declined 27.1%, presenting an attractive entry point.

In the article I list all monthly-paying BDCs. This list is then reduced to a handful of BDCs. These remaining BDCs, in my view, are the one with the strongest prospect to generate durable income without permanent NAV decay.

Gladstone Capital (GLAD) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
