Financial journalist opinion

24/7 Wall Street

Have $1000 and Need Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Income? Our Favorite $5 Stocks

While most of Wall Street focuses on large and mega-cap stocks, as they provide a degree of safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in the number of shares they can buy. Many of the most significant public companies, especially the technology giants, trade at prices up to $1,000 per share, while many are in the low to mid-hundreds. It is hard to get decent share count leverage at those steep prices. Many investors, especially more aggressive traders, look at lower-priced stocks to make a profit and increase their share count. That can help the decision-making process, especially when you are on to a winner, as you can always sell half and keep half.

JQC Provides High-Yield Exposure, But Underperforms Peer Strategies

JQC offers high yield (11.85%) via exposure to senior loans, high-yield debt, and CLOs, but carries elevated risk from credit quality and leverage. Macroeconomic factors like trade tariffs and interest rates pose significant risks to high-yield issuers, potentially impacting JQC's portfolio performance. JQC charges relatively high fees (202bps) and has historically underperformed peers like ARDC, despite a stable distribution since Q3'23.

JQC Rights Offering Underway - Here's What To Do

Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund's 1-for-5 rights offering has a subscription price based on the higher of 90% of NAV or 95% of the average closing price. The "higher of" condition prevents a vicious cycle of discount widening, effectively creating a discount floor and limiting how wide the discount can get. Investors should not subscribe if JQC's discount widens beyond -10%, as it would be cheaper to purchase the fund on the open market.
