EIC

Market cap $300M

EIC remains a unique closed-end fund focused on junior debt of collateralized loan obligations amid a volatile credit environment. EIC has proactively reduced its monthly distribution again, balancing lower cash flows with strategic share repurchases and preferred share redemptions to support NAV. The fund's approach, compared to peers like ECC and OXLC, has led to modest outperformance as EIC navigates CLO market disruptions and high-profile bankruptcies.

Eagle Point Credit offers attractive risk/reward on both common and preferred shares, supported by strong net investment income and robust asset coverage. EIC's preferred shares are well covered, with an asset coverage ratio of 285%, far exceeding the 200% regulatory minimum, enhancing their safety profile. The Series B preferred (EICB) yields 7.75% with a mandatory redemption by July 2028, trading near par and offering a 410 bps spread over Treasuries.

Eagle Point Income Co Inc and its preferred stock EICC offer high yields and stable income, standing out in today's fixed income market. EICC provides an 8% annual cumulative distribution and 8.20% yield to maturity. EICC is rated a buy for its limited credit risk, high yield, and strong relative value versus peers, making it a compelling income investment.

The investment case for closed-end funds (CEFs) is weak now due to tight discounts, high leverage costs, and expensive underlying assets. Most CEFs do not deliver sustainable alpha, and lower-fee actively managed ETFs now offer similar exposures with better economics. We have reduced our CEF allocation, favoring alternatives like BDCs, select ETFs, preferreds, and bonds for better value and risk/reward.

The company had to cut its dividend payments, which revealed the weak state of its cash flow protection mechanisms. The company demonstrates operational flexibility through its capital decisions, including ATM purchases at elevated prices and preferred stock issuance and share repurchases, yet these actions generate limited value for shareholders. The CLO exposure provides flexibility to the company, but short-term market fluctuations make its financial performance difficult to forecast.

With the month of July closing out, we are once again seeing the broader equity markets pushing to new all-time highs. As we enter into new all-time highs, we appear to be looking quite stretched on valuations, and CEF discounts have been narrowing.
