WhiteHorse Finance: Don't Get Fooled By The 17% Dividend Yield
WHF's portfolio quality continues to deteriorate, with non-accruals rising to 8.8% and earnings declining, justifying my ongoing sell rating. Despite a 17% dividend yield and a 25.6% discount to NAV, I see these as reflections of risk and weak fundamentals, not buying opportunities. Net investment income fails to cover the dividend, and reliance on spillover income is unsustainable; a dividend cut appears likely and necessary.

WhiteHorse Finance: Still No Signs Of Improvement
WhiteHorse Finance continues to struggle with deteriorating portfolio quality and lower earnings, leading to a maintained sell rating. WHF's price declined nearly 20% over the past year, with total returns at negative 6.78%, and dividend sustainability is questionable. Despite trading at a discount to NAV, WHF's poor performance and high non-accrual rates make it less attractive compared to peers.

The Moment Of Truth For BDC Dividend Investors Is Close
As a structural BDC bull I have to admit that the period of BDCs consistently surprising us on the upside has come to an end. Many lower quality BDCs have already cut their dividends to sync their cash flows with less favorable private credit lending environment. I would say that the moment of truth for high quality BDCs is also very close, where we will see how really durable their base dividends are.
