GLAD's valuation has decreased but remains relatively high, with a 17.38% premium to NAV, making it still expensive despite recent price declines. The current dividend yield is 7.9%, but the low coverage rate of 101% raises concerns about its sustainability in a high-interest rate environment. Non-accruals have slightly increased to 7.5% of cost, indicating some portfolio stress, and GLAD underperforms peers with lower non-accrual rates.
Gladstone Capital's improving internal risk ratings and low PIK income are positives, but rising non-accruals and barely covered dividends pose significant risks. The BDC's portfolio quality has improved, but the weakened US economic outlook and potential global trade war impacts remain concerns. Despite the dividend being covered by net investment income, the low coverage ratio and 18% premium to NAV make GLAD a hold, not a buy.
Gladstone Capital (GLAD) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.50 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.25 per share a year ago.
