Horizon Technology Finance NASDAQ: HRZN said its second-quarter net asset value declined primarily because of write-downs tied to one portfolio company, even as the business development company expanded its debt investment portfolio for a third consecutive quarter and reported a larger committed backlog following its April merger with Monroe Capital Corporation.
Horizon Technology Finance (HRZN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.13 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.28 per share a year ago.
Horizon Technology Finance is upgraded to Hold as portfolio structure shows potential for improvement and management demonstrates commitment through share repurchases. HRZN trades at a 33% discount to NAV, reflecting persistent portfolio and earnings weakness despite a high 15.5% dividend yield with thin coverage. Q1 results were disappointing: net investment income fell to $0.19/share, and interest income declined, but new investments and merger-driven equity injection offer cautious optimism.
