Horizon Technology's share price has bottomed out, presenting a prime buying opportunity for long-term investors due to improved market trends and financial metrics. The venture capital market's robust recovery and Horizon's aggressive growth strategy are expected to drive investment income and portfolio growth. Horizon Technology's dividend yield of over 14% is secure, supported by strong liquidity and investment income covering dividend payments.
