What are Wall Street analysts saying about Monroe Capital stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Monroe Capital stock:
- 1. National Securities analysts commented, " Monroe earned adjusted NII/share of $0.38 for 3Q18, two cents above our estimate and three cents above the quarterly dividend. However, the earnings beat came from the incentive fee not being earned at all during the quarter, which we model to have positively impacted earnings by $0.07/share.
The incentive fee was not earned due to NAV/share declining to $12.97 from $13.35 Q/Q. The decrease in NAV came as a result from realized losses on the equity in Rockdale and Millennial Brands. Gibson was also sold for a realized loss on an accounting basis, but Monroe made a cash-on-cash return on the investment overall.
In July, Rockdale Blackhawk entered chapter 11. This was and still is one of Monroe’s largest portfolio companies, representing 3.7% of the portfolio at cost as of 6/30/18 and 3.8% at 9/30/18. The equity was sold for a loss (although it had a zero cost-basis some of the loan costs were attributed to it) and the loans were written down and placed on non-accrual.
Our biggest issue, and the primary one that moves us to the sidelines with a neutral rating, is the lack of transparency surrounding this investment. Rockdale filed for bankruptcy in July, yet this was not discussed on the earnings call. While we could understand Monroe being comfortable with recovery prospects, marks, asset coverage, and the overall outcome, we cannot fathom why this was not announced given we certainly feel it is a material event.
The market is more likely to now apply a much steeper discount on a go-forward basis for MRCC as it factors in the potential of not having the full picture with regards to portfolio health, as we see it. The market can look past credit issues for a great platform, in our opinion, but will have a harder time looking past trust and uncertainty, in our opinion.
We are revising our 2018 adjusted NII/share estimate to $1.58 from $1.54 and our 2019 adjusted NII/share estimate to $1.50 from $1.58. Our earnings estimates are higher for 2018 as we don’t expect the incentive fee to be earned at all in 4Q18 & 1Q19. " (11/9/2018)
