CION Investment: Credit Quality Concerns & Economic Uncertainty Outweigh The 13% Yield
CION Investment Corp faces financial challenges, particularly with borrowers like David's Bridal, impacting their top and bottom lines and raising concerns about credit quality. Despite a solid dividend coverage and share repurchases, economic volatility and recession risks warrant caution for investors seeking high yields.
