When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

We take a look at the action in business development companies through the second week of November and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs saw a 2% aggregate return on the week; TPVG surged nearly 20%, while PSEC dropped due to a bad quarter and distribution cut. Tax-loss season may pressure some securities; PSEC, HRZN, TPVG, TCPC, OCSL, GSBD, NMFC, and CSWC could weaken further by year-end.

BDC Weekly Review: Tax-Loss Season Is Approaching

TriplePoint Venture Growth saw a significant breakout after Q3 results, driven by a major decline in its non-accrual percentage, improving portfolio quality. The BDC's net investment income of $0.35 per-share implied a dividend coverage ratio of 1.17X for its $0.30 dividend. Compared to Q2'24, the coverage situation drastically improved. Improved loan performance and reduced non-accruals have flipped TPVG's risk profile, justifying an upgrade to a buy rating.

TriplePoint Venture Growth: Inflection Point (Rating Upgrade)

I initially issued a sell rating on TriplePoint Venture Growth due to weak net investment income and questionable distribution coverage, but recent Q3 earnings show improvement. TPVG's portfolio strategy focuses on lending to venture capital-backed companies, with a diverse debt portfolio, but remains vulnerable to interest rates. The current dividend yield of 17.6% is attractive for income investors but comes with additional risks compared to peer BDCs.

TriplePoint Venture: Upgrading The 18% Yielder Ahead Of Q3 Results

TriplePoint Venture Growth offers a high dividend yield but has a risky portfolio and poor net asset value performance, making it a less attractive investment. TriplePoint focuses on tech and venture growth stage companies, which increases potential returns but also elevates risks, especially in a high-interest-rate environment. The company's net asset value has declined consistently, and its high non-accruals and writedowns suggest ongoing financial issues within its portfolio.

The fears of BDC dividends becoming unsustainable are rising. The primary driver for this is falling interest rates. While I fully appreciate this risk, in my opinion, by being very selective, investors can keep their attractive BDC dividends safe.

BDCs have outperformed REITs since early 2022 due to rising short-term interest rates and a strong economy, but dynamics shifted in July. With long-term rates declining and recession fears rising, BDCs face dividend cut risk. One BDC recently slashed its dividend aggressively and more are likely to follow.

Dividend Cut Alert: Bad News For BDCs

TriplePoint Venture Growth cut its dividend by 25% due to insufficient net investment income and high non-accrual percentages, leading to significant selling pressure on the BDC's shares. The BDC's weak balance sheet quality resulted in a poor distribution coverage profile. The dividend cut, however, should help the BDC improve its distribution coverage going forward. Therefore, my rating upgrade is a hold.

TPVG's latest earnings showed missed estimates, declining portfolio value, but also some positive signs such as new commitments and reduced leverage. While TPVG's dividend is currently covered, risks of an additional cut remain due to declining portfolio value and potential economic downturns.

TriplePoint Venture Growth: Don't Get Caught Going Down With The Ship

TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC stock price plummeted 7% to a new 52-week low after worse-than-expected Q2 results. TPVG realigned its dividend with lower net investment income, resulting in a 25% cut to $0.30 per share per quarter. Ongoing investment losses led to a QoQ drop in net asset value, causing TriplePoint stock to sell at an 18% discount.

TriplePoint Venture Growth: 25% Dividend Cut - What To Do Now?

TriplePoint Venture: New Distribution Looks Unsustainable As Well

TriplePoint Venture Growth (TPVG) operates as a BDC focusing on venture capital backed companies with a high dividend yield of 14.7%. TriplePoint Venture continues to underperform other peer BDCs, with non-accrual rates increasing and distribution being cut by 25% as of the latest Q2 earnings. Despite trading at a discount to NAV, TPVG's poor performance in NII and portfolio value decline warrant a sell rating.
