Two 12%+ Dividends Going From Bargains To Buys
Published: January 23, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Investors are currently adopting a more conservative stance, favoring high-quality value and durable income. However, this rotation coupled with lower interest rates echoes a bit 2022's system-wide yield compression (when high-quality income was overcrowded due to a desparate search-for-yield activity). So, finding double digit dividends that are backed by strong fundamentals has become more difficult.

Published: January 08, 2026 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I focus on business development companies, or BDCs, with durable dividends, strong downside protection, and resilience to rate and credit risk shifts. However, there is also a merit of including BDCs, which would qualify for tactical investment bucket - i.e., high risk, high return.

BDC sector valuations remain depressed, with P/NAV metrics under 1x due to falling rates and credit risk concerns.
