Portman Ridge Finance: Q1 Earnings Reveal More Downside Risks — Negative

PTMN   Seeking Alpha — June 03, 2025

I maintain my sell rating on PTMN due to weak earnings, ongoing NAV decline, and deteriorating dividend coverage, despite a large discount to NAV. PTMN's portfolio quality is slipping, with non-accruals rising to 2.6% and limited new investment activity, signaling ongoing downside risk. The current 16.1% dividend yield is barely covered by earnings, leaving little margin for error and raising concerns about future payout sustainability.
