BDC Misconceptions Setting Investors Up For Failure

CGBD, NCDL
Published: July 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

BDCs face a number of misconceptions in the commentariat having to do with earnings, dividend coverage, and more. Short-term rates are still attractive, BDC valuations are reasonable, and portfolio quality has improved; floating-rate assets remain compelling even at lower levels. Investors should focus on rigorous analysis, valuations, and NII yield, not simplistic headlines or price momentum.

Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending: This High-Yielding BDC Remains Undervalued

NCDL
Published: May 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

NCDL remains attractively valued, trading at a notable discount to book despite solid performance and a well-diversified, high-quality portfolio. Fee waivers rolling off will reduce outperformance, but the new fee structure is still shareholder-friendly and supports a sustainable dividend yield. Share repurchases at a discount and management's focus on shareholder interests further enhance returns.

Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending: The Market Has Started To Recognize Value, Here Is How To Play It

NCDL
Published: March 13, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

My thesis on Nuveen Churchill Direct Lending has started to play out nicely. NCDL has managed to register a decent alpha right in the moment when the BDC has been subject to elevated volatility. Considering the Q4 2024 report and the current BDC market environment, I remain long on NCDL. Yet, the long-term return prospects have weakened a bit.

The Moment Of Truth For BDC Dividend Investors Is Close

Published: March 11, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

As a structural BDC bull I have to admit that the period of BDCs consistently surprising us on the upside has come to an end. Many lower quality BDCs have already cut their dividends to sync their cash flows with less favorable private credit lending environment. I would say that the moment of truth for high quality BDCs is also very close, where we will see how really durable their base dividends are.
