Fat Dividends Served Reality Check
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.

Oaktree Specialty Lending: A 13.2% Yield You Need To Avoid (Rating Downgrade)
Published: May 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Oaktree Specialty Lending's 13.2% dividend yield is risky due to rising non-accruals and a slowing economy, making another dividend cut likely. Despite a recent dividend cut, OCSL's financials continue to decline, with net asset value dropping significantly and non-performing loans increasing. OCSL's balance sheet is in decent shape with low debt-to-equity and strong liquidity, but this doesn't offset the risks from deteriorating fundamentals.

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.
