What are Wall Street analysts saying about Monroe Capital stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Monroe Capital stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Monroe Capital Corporation is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company focused on providing financing primarily to lower middle-market companies in the United States and Canada. The Company's investment objective is to maximize the total return to its stockholders in the form of current income and capital appreciation through investments in senior, unitranche and junior secured debt and unsecured debt and equity investments. Monroe Capital Corporation is headquartered in Chicago. " (3/13/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "▪ MRCC posted adjusted NII/share of $0.38 for 4Q18, a penny short of our estimate but well above the $0.35/share quarterly dividend. However, we note that the incentive fee was not earned for the second consecutive quarter due to further declines in NAV. We think that there will be no incentive fee in 1Q19 and a partial incentive fee in 2Q19.
▪ NAV/share decreased Q/Q to $12.66 from $12.97 and Y/Y from $13.77. Monroe had $24.4mm of realized losses on the quarter which we expect were driven by the exit of previous non-accruals TPP Operating and Millennial Brands. At 9/30/18, these companies had a combined $21.3mm of unrealized depreciation. Education Corporation of America (ECA) was placed on non-accrual during the quarter with a total cost (both loan and preferred) of $9.8mm. The loan continued to be carried at cost but the preferred was marked down to 61% of cost. In aggregate, non-accruals were marked at 83% of cost and we think it is certainly possible for these to be marked down further going forward. Also, with new credit issues continuing to pop up we think the market will likely take a “wait and see” approach with MRCC before deciding to give shares a higher valuation.
▪ Although Monroe has ample dry powder for portfolio growth as regulatory D/E (excluding the SBIC) finished 2018 at 0.53x and the company upsized its credit facility and reduced its asset coverage requirement, we expect little incremental benefit for shareholders as base fees were not scaled down over 1.00x D/E.
▪ We are revising our 2019 adjusted NII/share estimate to $1.57 from $1.50 (due to reduced incentive fees modeled) and are rolling out our 2020 adjusted NII/share estimate of $1.58." (3/7/2019)
