Business development companies have been seeing pressure as private credit issues have popped up. Additionally, pressures from the Fed cutting rates in late 2024 and 2025 also negatively impacted income generation for most names. However, not all BDCs have been seeing these negative headwinds play out, and we are highlighting two names that have been able to navigate this environment.
Trinity Capital (TRIN) stands out among BDCs, delivering 18% annual performance and strong growth despite sector headwinds. TRIN reported Q1 top-line growth of 38% and robust portfolio expansion, with disciplined underwriting and limited SaaS exposure. Dividend coverage remains solid at 104%, supported by low leverage, $68M spillover income, and a premium to NAV (1.26x).
As a BDC bull, I can admit that most securities in this universe aren't meant for prudent income investors. There have been just too many cases of value destruction, and many fundamental questions on a sector level remain unanswered. However, there are some rare and high-yielding exceptions.
Trinity Capital is a well-managed, internally managed BDC with a differentiated equipment financing focus and strong portfolio discipline. TRIN's fundamentals are robust, but recent non-accruals have re-accelerated, highlighting some credit risk beneath the surface. Shares trade at a historically rich premium (1.28x NAV, >8x NII), making the current valuation stretched relative to the sector an...

Trinity Capital remains a BDC sector outlier, delivering a 38.6% total return and strong portfolio growth over the past year. TRIN offers a 12% monthly dividend yield, with current net investment income and $68M in spillover income supporting payout sustainability through 2026. Despite trading at a 27.28% premium to NAV, TRIN's robust new investment activity and low non-accruals underpin a cont...
The longer this bull run lasts, the greater the likelihood of a near-term correction. A market correction would be healthy, realigning asset prices with fundamentals and creating opportunities for patient investors. So, rather than full derisking, I advocate a 'balanced hedge' approach.
Higher interest rates are generally favorable for BDCs. However, some BDCs can suffer from higher rates that could potentially result in painful dividend cuts. In this article, I explain how we as BDC investors could digest the current rate regime and its implications on dividends.
