What are Wall Street analysts saying about Oaktree Specialty Lending stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Oaktree Specialty Lending stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation is a specialty finance company. It provides customized, one-stop credit solutions to companies with limited access to public or syndicated capital markets. The company generates current income and capital appreciation by providing companies with flexible and innovative financing solutions including first and second lien loans, unsecured and mezzanine loans and preferred equity. Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation, formerly known as Fifth Street Finance Corp., is based in CA, United States. " (9/10/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "▪ OCSL’s NAV/share was up 5.9% sequentially Q/Q to $6.55 from $6.19. We had forecasted NAV/share to finish 3/31/19 at $6.42. The sale of Maverick above prior quarter marks and reversal of technical marks due to spread compression in the quarter gave NAV a significant lift.
▪ Oaktree still has $159.5mm of inherited non-accruals at cost and we expect these to be exited over the course of the next four quarters, with sales proceeds recycled into direct originations which should boost total effective yield and be positive for earnings. Total non-accruals are marked at 54% of cost compared to 63% Q/Q largely from the write-downs of Dominion Diagnostics and Cenegenics.
▪ Oaktree is seeking shareholder approval for reduced asset coverage. With Brookfield acquiring a 63% economic interest, it doesn’t currently impact the investment advisory agreement but at some point it may down the road and thus Oaktree is seeking to have shareholders vote on the investment advisory agreement along with reduced asset coverage. The company will lower fees to 100 bps on assets purchased at over 1.00x D/E but is not changing their targeted leverage range.
▪ We would only expect Oaktree to exceed 1.00x D/E if there is severe and sustained market dislocation, as the broader Oaktree platform is largely opportunistic and countercyclical in how it operates. Until and unless that occurs, we think there is still meaningful room for earnings growth from disposing of the $156mm of non-income producing investments and $32mm of BSL with spreads under 400 bps over LIBOR. The rotation out of these assets and into proprietary originations, opportunistic BSL purchases, and the Kemper JV (whose assets grew to $347mm from $310mm Q/Q) should serve to augment effective yield and thus NIM in F2019.
▪ We are revising our fiscal 2019 NII/share estimate to $0.51 from $0.50 and our fiscal 2020 NII/share estimate to $0.54 from $0.55." (5/13/2019)
