Gladstone's Common Vs. Bonds: Who Will Win?

GAIN, GAINL
Published: June 02, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Gladstone Investment is a strong BDC, but its common stock is risky due to high leverage, concentrated holdings, and a premium valuation. Baby bonds GAINI and GAINZ offer attractive yields (8.06%-8.16%) with lower risk and higher capital protection than the common stock. Leveraged baby bonds deliver a solid 10.74%-10.94% ROE, slightly below the common stock, but with much less volatility and risk.

Published: May 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.

A bunch of mortgage REITs were severely overvalued. Now they are less overvalued. But some others are actually bargains. Tons of charts because images are fun. Ellington Financial's higher price-to-book ratio may be due to lower volatility in the total economic return by period. Digital Realty Trust deserves to be mocked. I am reporting for duty!
