What are Wall Street analysts saying about OFS Capital stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about OFS Capital stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "OFS Capital Corporation is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. It is engaged in providing capital to North American middle market companies. Its investment objective is to provide its stockholders with both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments and equity investments in asset classes including senior secured, unitranche, second-lien and mezzanine loans. " (1/8/2019)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, " OFS earned $0.35 of NII/share for 3Q18, matching our estimate and exceeding the quarterly dividend by a penny. We think that earnings will be up a couple cents in 4Q18 as a result of OID acceleration before further portfolio growth and balance sheet leverage increasing through 2019 drive further earnings growth.
The company had strong portfolio growth in the quarter, with the portfolio at cost increasing to $398.6 million from $366.1 million Q/Q. In 4Q18, OFS issued seven-year notes at a 6.50% coupon that we anticipate will have the overallotment option exercised in full which would lead to a gross debt issuance of $50.0 million.
We think the notes offering was done at favorable pricing to the company and the proceeds will pay-down the revolver in full while also permitting portfolio growth into year-end 2018 and thus should not cause any drag on earnings.
We think that all-in effective yield will increase modestly Y/Y for 2019 as a result of spread widening. We note that OFS’s platform has $2.2 billion of AUM and the LMM, non-sponsor focus of the company combined with the underwriting capabilities of the platform also bodes well for pricing power.
NAV/share increased by 5 cents on the quarter to $13.75 with non-accruals remaining flat at $12.4 million at cost or 3.1% of the portfolio. However, previous non-accrual Master Cutlery was marked down to 35.3% of cost from 48.0% of cost Q/Q. The other non-accruals, Southern Technical Institute and Community Intervention Services, have been marked at zero since 1Q18 and 4Q17, respectively.
We are revising our 2018 NII/share estimate to $1.35 from $1.32 and our 2019 NII/share estimate to $1.47 from $1.45 and maintaining our BUY rating and $15 price target." (11/5/2018)
