CSWC's internal management structure aligns with shareholder interests, maintaining low operating expenses and a robust 12.9% dividend yield. Trading at a 1.19x price-to-NAV ratio, CSWC is undervalued compared to peers, offering a compelling entry point for value and income investors.
Capital Southwest: Technical Strength, Attractive Dividend Yield - Initiate With Buy
Capital Southwest's chart remains bearish, but the moving averages and indicators show a bullish technical outlook for CSWC stock. Most recent earnings were mixed as prepayment and fees boosted total investment income while losses are piling up in their investments. The P/B ratio's contraction since mid-2024 is justified as confidence has weakened and so the stock is near fair valuation currently.
