What are Wall Street analysts saying about Apollo Investment stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Apollo Investment stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Apollo Investment Corporation is a closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company's investment portfolio will be principally in middle-market private companies. " (7/31/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "▪ AINV posted NII/share of $0.46 for F4Q19, a penny above both our estimate and the quarterly dividend. With the total return hurdle taking effect, the company did not earn an incentive fee. NAV/share was up 3 cents Q/Q to $19.06 but down 3.1% on the fiscal year from $19.67. Unrealized depreciation was led by Glacier with $17.0mm, Crowne Automotive with $7.1mm, Renew Financial with $6.6mm, and Dynamic Product Tankers with $6.3mm.
▪ Apollo had another strong quarter of originations with volume of $257.4mm versus repayments and sales of $151.6mm. In April, the reduced asset coverage became effective. The company is seeking to make loans with LIBOR spreads of between 500-700 bps and attachment points of 4.0x-5.5x.
▪ AINV is likely to continue to prioritize Midcap investments and co-invest across the platform targeting verticals that have higher barriers to entry such as lender finance, asset-based lending (ABL), and life sciences. The strategy shift was apparent in the new commitments with an average spread of 585 bps and 94% done with co-investment across the Apollo platform.
▪ We think that AINV is making good progress with its portfolio rotation, but the company is still targeting 10%-15% exposure to Merx Aviation, which ended F2019 at 15.7% of the book at cost. Additionally, oil and gas still remains a significant 8.3% of the portfolio at cost. Despite strides made by Apollo, issuer and industry concentration is likely to warrant a continued discount to NAV for shares, in our opinion.
▪ We are revising our fiscal 2020 NII/share estimate to $1.83 from $1.84 and are rolling out our fiscal 2021 NII/share estimate of $1.85. We are maintaining our NEUTRAL rating and $18 price target." (5/20/2019)
