What the Analysts think about Prospect Capital

Analyst projections of the future price of Prospect Capital stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Credit indicators improved sharply: non-accrual loans fell to 1.8% of portfolio cost from 4.7% in the prior quarter, and were just 0.2% at fair value. That points to fewer loans currently failing to pay interest. (Prospect Capital Corporation)
The balance sheet has more room to absorb shocks: net-of-cash debt fell to 25.0% of assets from 28.6%, while cash plus undrawn revolving credit commitments rose to $1.87bn. This eases near-term funding pressure. (Prospect Capital Corporation)
The $200m repurchase authorisation could add value if PSEC buys shares well below NAV: one report put the shares at $1.44 against NAV of $5.36. The potential benefit depends on management actually using the authorisation. (Prospect Capital Corporation, Finviz)
NAV fell to $5.36 per share from $5.71 in the prior quarter and $6.45 a year earlier. PSEC also recorded $98.6m of realised and unrealised investment losses and a $53.4m loss for common shareholders in the quarter. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
The investment book is shrinking: investments at cost were $5.94bn, down from $6.53bn a year earlier, as $257m of repayments and sales far exceeded $90m of originations in the latest quarter. Net investment income also slipped to $76.4m from $79.4m a year earlier. (Prospect Capital Corporation)
Net investment income of $76.4m fell short of the $81.4m distributed to common and preferred shareholders, while the common distribution per share declined to $0.105 for the quarter from $0.135 a year earlier. That leaves less room for any further pressure on income without another payout reduction. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Prospect Capital Corporation)
