Six stocks are paying yields as high as 23% right now, but behind those numbers sit eroding asset values, razor-thin coverage ratios, and balance sheets that leave almost no room for error if rates or charter markets move the wrong

Five high-yield names have ex-dividend dates landing between September 21 and September 25, and the window to qualify for the next payment is closing by the day.

Chicago Atlantic BDC's Q2 credit quality remained strong, with 0% non-accruals, 100% senior-secured exposure, and a 16% weighted-average gross portfolio yield. The $1.1 billion pipeline and $25 million post-quarter deployment suggest weaker Q2 originations were timing-related rather than structural. Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance's Koach transaction adds a 12% yielding asset and should be modestly NAV accretive because new shares were issued above book value.
