BBDC

Market cap $943M

Barings BDC common stock is trading at a deep 20% discount, offering a projected NII yield near 10%. BBDC's average 3- and 5-year total returns are around 9%, with a credit rating of BBB-/Baa3 and relatively low bond yield spreads. Despite historical losses and modest ROE, discounted shares present higher return potential than the company's own baby bonds, which yield about 8%.

Barings BDC remains a resilient choice in the BDC sector, offering a high 11.6% dividend yield and strong distribution coverage. BBDC's portfolio is well-diversified, focused on senior secured first lien debt, and maintains low non-accruals compared to peers, supporting income stability. Despite healthy fundamentals, BBDC faces persistent NAV declines and limited new investment activity, constraining upside potential in a high-rate environment.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), passive income generally includes earnings from rental activity or any trade, business, or investment in which the individual does not materially participate.

Of 35 November Dividend Power Dogs, 12 are recommended for "safer" dividends, with free-cash-flow-yields exceeding dividend-yields, and returns from $1,000 invested equaling-or-exceeding share-price, making them ideal buys. Analyst forecasts project average net gains of 36.78% for the top ten DiviPower stocks by November 2026, with strong upside potential in select financials. Caution is advised for stocks with negative free cash flow margins, as 18 of 35 are considered cash-poor and riskier for dividend sustainability.
