Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Monroe Capital Corporation stock:

• 1. National Securities analysts commented, "• Monroe is offering 3.0 million shares with a 450,000 share overallotment at $15.00/share, representing a 5% premium to 3/31/17 NAV/share of $14.34. We estimate that the green shoe will be exercised in full and that MRCC will receive net proceeds of $49.2 million.
  • The company finished 1Q17 with regulatory D/E (excluding SBA debentures) of 0.57x. We expect that the offering will permit the company to pay-down its credit facility balance to $112.0 million from $136.0 million and as a result regulatory D/E will likely decrease to 0.40x, by our estimates. Along with the deleveraging we expect Monroe will still achieve Q/Q portfolio growth of $32.7 million at fair value.
  • We expect the accretive offering and our expectations of positive credit trends in the portfolio to contribute to a NAV/share increase to $14.48 from $14.34 Q/Q, generating an annualized economic return of 13.6%. With the spare capacity on the credit facility and access to an additional $55.0 million of SBA debentures we do not anticipate MRCC will require further equity issuance until 2Q18 to achieve robust portfolio growth.
  • We are revising our 2017 adjusted NII/share estimate to $1.46 from $1.49 and our 2018 adjusted NII/share estimate to $1.57 from $1.58." (6/12/2017)
• 2. 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. " (5/10/2017)
• 3. FBR & Co analysts commented, "MRCC reported 4Q16 adjusted net investment income EPS of $0.35, below our estimate of $0.39 and the consensus of $0.38. The 4Q16 miss was due primarily to lower total revenues QOQ despite an increase in earning asset volumes QOQ. The lower revenue was due to lower dividends from portfolio company Rockdale Blackhawk, which in the first nine months of 2016 up-streamed $3.5M of dividends (or $0.21/share) to MRCC, as well as lower origination fees in 4Q16 QOQ. While 4Q16 earnings fully covered the dividend of $0.35, this was aided by a $0.02/ share management fee waiver. Asset quality remains solid as NAV/share increased $0.10 QOQ due to unrealized investment appreciation. Going forward, we believe MRCC remains well positioned to grow given we estimate it has $167M in untapped lending potential (including SBA borrowings), or 40% of 4Q16 investment assets at fair value. We note that management remains cautious on a turn in the credit cycle; thus, lower-yielding first-lien debts are likely to remain the focus going forward." (3/10/2017)
