Hercules Capital: 7 Reasons Why This Is The Top BDC For 2026 — Positive

HTGC   Seeking Alpha — January 29, 2026

I'm maintaining a "Buy" rating on Hercules Capital as I believe there are seven key reasons why it remains the top pick in the BDC sector for 2026. HTGC's business model is well adapted to the rate-cutting cycle, demonstrating effective scaling through its internal management structure and a clear commitment to diversifying cash flows. HTGC's dividend yield is expected to remain stable, while technical analysis of higher timeframes indicates further upside potential for the stock.
