Fidus Investment: Why It's Becoming One Of My Favorite Players In The Sector
Fidus Investment stands out among BDCs for solid performance, growing portfolio, and resilient NAV despite sector headwinds and lower base rates. High equity ownership and disciplined credit quality have enabled FDUS to outperform peers, maintaining income and dividend coverage even as others struggled.

Fidus Investment: Back On My Radar, But There Are Stronger Picks
FDUS is back on my "buy" list due to its solid valuation, despite increased market uncertainty from tariffs and potential recession risks. FDUS boasts a well-covered +9% regular dividend yield, with a current DPS coverage of 125%. FDUS has a solid portfolio with 78.6% secured debt investments, but I prefer BXSL and MSDL for their higher focus on first-lien debt in uncertain times.
Fidus Investment: Irresistible Buying Opportunity
I upgraded Fidus Investment Corporation to 'Strong Buy' due to its well-covered dividends and substantial valuation haircut, with robust net investment activity and potential lower interest rates. Fidus Investment's portfolio value increased 14% YoY, driven by strong demand for investment capital, leading to a 10% YoY rise in net investment income. The BDC's low 75% dividend payout ratio and 4% discount to net asset value make it a compelling passive income investment.
