PSEC Latest News
Prospect Capital (PSEC) operates as a business development company that generates its earnings through a portfolio of various debt investments. PSEC maintains a primary exposure to the real estate sector. This presents unique sensitivity to changes in the interest rate. The current dividend yield sits above 14% but the coverage remains thin. An decrease in portfolio quality could negatively impact the coverage.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) (“Prospect”) closed $764 million of new investments during its fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, investing in 38 new and existing portfolio companies.
NEW YORK, Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) (“Prospect”) extended and increased total commitments for its revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) for Prospect Capital Funding LLC, a GAAP consolidated subsidiary of Prospect, with the most recent upsize in the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
NEW YORK, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) (“Prospect”) announced Prospect has surpassed its 20th anniversary as one of the largest ($7.9 billion in total assets as of the recently completed fiscal year end) and longest running publicly traded business development companies (“BDCs”).
Prospect Capital has consistently failed to generate sufficient cash flow to cover dividends, leading to a significant risk of future dividend cuts. The company's NAV per share has declined substantially, eroding shareholder value due to poor financial management and unproductive investments. Issuing preferred stock has diluted common shareholders' value and further strained dividend coverage, with cash available for common dividends covering only 63% in FY 2024.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) (“Prospect”, “our”, or “we”) today announced financial results for our fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prospect Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEC) (the “Company”) today announced it expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its report on Form 10-K containing results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and to issue its earnings press release Wednesday, August 28, 2024 after the close of the markets.
PSEC offers a high distribution yield of 12.8% and trades at a significant discount to its net asset value. However, this discount doesn't necessarily mean that PSEC is a buy. The majority of PSEC's investments are within the real estate sector, which may be impacted by rising interest rates. PSEC's dividend has remained the same since 2017, showing inconsistent growth compared to peers, especially internally managed BDCs.
Prospect Capital Corporation's loan quality and dividend coverage remain healthy. The BDC is originating new loans, which will contribute to its net investment income and potentially improve dividend coverage. Despite a 37% discount to net asset value, the stock's 13% yield makes it a worthwhile investment for passive income investors.
Prospect Capital's share price has declined double-digits over the past year due to weaker fundamentals and portfolio quality. The company's declining financials and NAV erosion are concerning, but it still offers a monthly dividend with a comfortable coverage ratio. The stock is undervalued with a P/NAV ratio of 0.63x, but risks include exposure to the high interest rate environment and real estate market.
