Near 52 week high, still pays a 9% dividend in my IRA.
The dividend was increased from 37 cents to 43 cents last year.
This call by JPMorgan is some analyst deciding to do something instead of nothing.
Earnings report next month probably will render this proclamation stupid.
Stock NAV in February might justify current price.
Most of the Banks and Analysts usually have a hidden agenda.

VeroMike:

Couldn't agree more. Some of these guys wouldn't recognize a good thing if it stared them in the face. Think I'll buy more on this pull back. The Motley Fool regularly makes fun of these upgrade/downgrades. I think they really have it right.

If you don't mind taking steroids, try BDCL.

I'm not recommending it, I just stumbled on it recently.

Most downgrades involving stocks that have behaved like ARCC, are a result of analysts wanting to recommend the stock but are afraid of valuation due to the runup. Accordingly, they hope to "knock" down the value a few clicks to then change their recommendation to a "buy". Sometimes it actually works. Most times it doesn't, but if the stock gets hit a little, add to it.
