What the Analysts think about CSWC

Analyst projections of the future price of Capital Southwest stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Pre-tax net investment income of $0.58 per share matched the regular quarterly dividend, and $0.92 per share of undistributed taxable income provides a reserve behind the additional $0.06 supplement. The board maintained both payments for the December quarter. (Capital Southwest)
CSWC made a record $391 million of new commitments in the quarter, spanning 14 new and 16 existing portfolio companies. Sustained origination growth could expand its income-producing portfolio. (Capital Southwest)
Credit risk is cushioned by a portfolio that is 99% first-lien senior secured debt. New platform loans also had average senior leverage of 3.4 times EBITDA and a 33% loan-to-value ratio. (Capital Southwest, Investing.com)
Credit quality weakened: non-accruals rose to 1.4% of portfolio fair value from 1.1% the previous quarter, while credit investments recorded $14.6 million of depreciation. Further borrower trouble could lead to more income losses or markdowns. (Capital Southwest)
Net investment income was $0.56 per share, below the $0.58 regular dividend; the additional $0.06 supplement widens that gap. The payout therefore has less room for error if earnings or accumulated taxable income weaken. (Capital Southwest)
The shares trade at a substantial premium to net asset value, leaving less valuation cushion if portfolio marks or earnings disappoint. A recent UBS rating of Neutral also suggests limited upside at the current valuation. (Seeking Alpha, Business Insider)
