Published: June 03, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Weaker US M&A activity and declining net investment commitments signal subdued investment portfolio growth ahead. Investment yield spreads have been shrinking but latest management commentary and a lower-than-expected exposure to tariff-sensitive sectors are tailwinds going forward. ARCC trades at a 21% premium to BDC peers, far above its historical 5% average. So I think ARCC is relatively overvaluation and at risk of a mean reversion correction.
