Analyst projections of the future price of Ares Capital stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Q2 net investment income was $0.50 per share against the $0.48 regular dividend, and ARCC reported $988 million of spillover income available for future distributions. It maintained the payout, extending its long record of stable or rising regular dividends. (Ares Capital, StockAnalysis)
ARCC ended June with about $6 billion of available liquidity after repaying $1 billion of notes. Its new commercial-paper programme and expanded credit facilities add funding flexibility and access to potentially lower-cost capital. (Ares Capital)
A subdued deal market may give ARCC an opening to win better terms: the company said its scale helped it remain selective, while the Wall Street Journal reported that borrowers were accepting tougher terms as some rival lenders pulled back. (Ares Capital, The Wall Street Journal)
Loans on non-accrual rose to $708 million in Q2, up 15% from the prior quarter and 26% year on year. The 2.4% share of investments at cost remains below ARCC’s historical average, but the rise points to worsening payment trouble. (Bloomberg, SEC)
NAV per share fell to $19.35 at the end of June from $19.94 at year end. Continued declines would erode the asset-value cushion underpinning the shares. (SEC)
Core earnings were $0.47 per share for a second consecutive quarter, below the $0.48 dividend. That leaves little earnings headroom if portfolio income weakens further. (StockAnalysis)
