What are Wall Street analysts saying about THL Credit stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about THL Credit stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "THL Credit Inc. is a newly-organized, externally-managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has filed an election to be treated as a business development company. The Company's investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through investments in privately negotiated debt and equity securities of middle market companies. The Company invests primarily in private subordinated debt, or mezzanine debt, in middle market companies that require capital for growth and acquisitions. Such investments in many cases include an associated equity component such as warrants, preferred stock or other similar securities. The Company's investment activities are managed by its investment adviser, THL Credit Advisors LLC, which is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. " (5/28/2019)
- 2. 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)
