Monday, April 22, 10:46 AM A selection of BDCs (HTGC, GBDC, NMFC, ARCC, FSC) are on the rise after a weekend Barron's article suggests high-yield fans (HYG, JNK) receiving around a 5% yield might consider a bit of "valuation arbitrage." BDCs yielding north of 8% loan money to non-IG companies, but their paper is better-protected than junk bonds. Rising recognition of this could narrow the gap, suggests Wells' Jonathan Bock. BIZD +1.2%. 4 Comments [Financials]
Thursday, April 11, 12:22 PM Fifth Street Finance (FSC -3.5%) trades lower after pricing a public offering of 13.5M shares at a discount to Wednesday's close. The company will use the proceeds to repay debt but notes it will likely "re-borrow under its credit facilities to make investments."

Comment! [Financials, On the Move]

Friday, February 8, 12:54 PM In 2013 Q1, BDCs might find themselves paying for a robust 2012 Q4 (when companies rushed to close deals ahead of tax hikes). "Our deal pipeline in Q1 is much slower than it was last quarter," said Golub Capital (GBDC) CEO David Golub on the earnings call (transcript).
