What are Wall Street analysts saying about THL Credit stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about THL Credit stock:
- 1. National Securities analysts commented, "▪ TCRD posted NII/share of $0.21 for 1Q19, two cents short of our estimate but matching the quarterly dividend. There was a one-time cost associated with downsizing the credit facility that impacted earnings by approximately $0.01/share during the quarter.
▪ LAI was placed on non-accrual status during the quarter, bringing non-accruals at cost up to $68.2mm or 12.4% of the portfolio compared to $38.0mm or 7.0% of the portfolio Q/Q. LAI’s total exposure stood at $44.1 by cost with $29.8mm of that on non-accrual status. The company was written down to 54% of cost from 78% the quarter prior. THL extended the company an additional $10mm with the good news being the company is being sold. Given the significant and fast deterioration of the company, we model a sale below 3/31/19 marks that would be NAV-negative upon the completion of the sale and realization of the loss.
▪ As a result of LAI’s $12.8mm of depreciation during the quarter, NAV/share decreased to $8.96 from $9.15 Q/Q. We model NAV/share to decrease further to $8.52 at year-end 2019 before we expect steady improvement to end 2020 at $8.82.
▪ The external manager is waiving incentive fees earned through 2019, which supports the current quarterly dividend of $0.21/share. However, we expect that without these waivers in 2020 that the quarterly dividend will be cut to $0.17/share in 1Q20. The June shareholders meeting will have THL seeking to reduce asset coverage and lower fees further in two separate votes. However, even with a lower base fee and reduced asset coverage we think a dividend cut is inevitable in 2020, unless incentive fees continue to be waived.
▪ We are revising our 2019 NII/share estimate to $0.86 from $0.99 and our 2020 NII/share estimate to $0.75 from $0.86." (5/13/2019)
