BDC Weekly Review: Performance Divergence But No Serious Weakness We take a look at the action in business development companies through the fourth week of May and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDC sector pulled back 2% this week, but remains up 2.5% month-to-date; valuations are about 5% below historic averages.

Capital Southwest: Latest Quarter Confirms Why This Is A Top Income BDC Capital Southwest stands out among BDCs for its strong fundamentals, defensive posture, and ability to navigate lower base rates and economic uncertainty.

Dividend Investors, It's Time To Raise Cash, Here's Why Despite my usual inclination to invest in dividend-paying stocks, current market valuations and economic risks lead me to prefer raising cash over investing. The 10-year Treasury yield reflects a tug-of-war between inflation and economic weakness, influenced by tariffs and trade uncertainties. The recent U.S.-U.K. trade deal is a positive development, but it doesn't fully offset the higher tariffs still in place post-"Liberation Day." seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
Capital Southwest: Stronger Than You Think, The Good And The Bad Despite a 25% stock price drop in the past year, I believe CSWC is an attractive investment opportunity. Trump's tariffs and elevated non-accruals pose challenges, but CSWC is prepared better than it seems. CSWC's focus on lower middle-market companies with an average EBITDA of $20m makes it more vulnerable to economic downturns. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
