BCSF, BBW and FSBW have been added to the Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) List on September 23rd, 2026.

Rate hikes are back on the table. For most investors, that's bad news.

BCSF has several signs of an upcoming dividend cut. Its nearly 15% forward yield is unsustainable, with only a 5% NII margin of safety and special dividends already halted. Upcoming $300M debt refinancing at higher rates and persistent NAV declines increase pressure on NII and dividend stability.

Bain Capital Specialty Finance NYSE: BCSF reported second-quarter net investment income of $28.6 million, or $0.44 per share, which covered its $0.42-per-share base dividend by 105%, the company said during its earnings call. Net investment income represented an annualized return on equity of 10.5%.
