CION

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CION Investment Corporation (NYSE: CION) (“CION”) announced today that it has repaid in full the outstanding $114.8 million aggregate principal amount of its public Israel Series A Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “Series A Notes”), which were listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and that its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, 34th Street Funding, LLC, has repaid in full all outstanding advances under and terminated its senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chas.

CION Investment Corporation faces elevated non-accruals and underperformance versus BDC peers, making its common stock unattractive currently. Q2 '26 net investment income of $0.29/share failed to cover the $0.30/share dividend, despite a recent dividend cut. CION's leverage is near regulatory minimums, but management plans to retire $270M in debt to improve asset coverage and debt credit quality.

CION Investment Corporation (CION) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

CION's Q2 results benefit from lower non-accruals, lifting shares 16.9%. However, lower investment income and higher expenses weigh on results.
