WhiteHorse Finance: 15% Yield Sustainable With Range-Bound Trading Until NII Grows
WhiteHorse Finance is rated Hold due to ongoing underfunded dividends and lack of near-term catalysts for a valuation re-rating. WHF trades at a 40% discount to NAV with a 15% yield, but persistent NII shortfall and risk of further dividend cuts weigh on upside. Future NII growth depends on asset sales (notably Starco), Outward Hound's return to accrual status, and increased loan origination volume.
