PFLT

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital remains a hold due to persistent NAV declines and headwinds from elevated interest rates. PFLT's dividend was reduced to 12.8% yield, now covered by net investment income, but coverage remains thin and growth momentum is lacking. Net investment activity remains negative as sales and repayments outpace new investments, with a high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.56x constraining growth.

PFLT's asset coverage ratio stands at 162% but could fall to 158% if all PFLA proceeds are invested in new assets, still above the regulatory 150% requirement.
