What the Analysts think about Prospect Capital

Analyst projections of the future price of Prospect Capital stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
September-quarter preliminary results put net investment income at about $76 million, with non-accrual loans at 0.2% of portfolio value and 1.8% at cost. That suggests income held up and the reported problem-loan share was low. (StockTitan)
Prospect has shifted towards senior first-lien lending: first-lien loans rose to 72.5% of investments at cost, while the structured-notes portfolio was exited. Morningstar DBRS said the changes should make earnings less volatile and assigned a stable trend to its provisional rating on new notes. (Prospect Capital, Morningstar DBRS)
The Valley Electric sale brought in about $281 million in expected net proceeds; Prospect said applying the cash would have reduced its revolver draw from about $562 million to $323 million. Preliminary September figures also put debt at 25% of assets, supporting the case that funding pressure is manageable. (Prospect Capital, StockTitan)
Common NAV per share fell to $5.71 at June 2026 from $6.56 a year earlier, and Prospect recorded a $38.1 million net loss in the quarter after $83.8 million of investment losses. Persistent asset-value erosion could leave less protection for common shareholders. (Prospect Capital)
For fiscal 2026, net investment income after preferred dividends was about $30 million below distributions to common shareholders, while quarterly NII per share slipped to $0.15 from $0.17 a year earlier. The common distribution has already been cut to $0.035 a month, leaving little room for further earnings weakness. (Prospect Capital, CrowdfundedWealth)
Shareholders renewed Prospect’s authority to sell common shares below NAV for the next year, subject to board approval. Issuing discounted shares can dilute existing holders and compound the fall in NAV per share. (StockTitan, Prospect Capital)
