Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about THL Credit stock:

• 1. National Securities analysts commented, "• TCRD reported NII/share of $0.31 versus our estimate of $0.28/share with the beat largely driven by the incentive fee coming in at $1.2 million compared to our estimate of $2.3 million. The incentive fee, subject to a total return hurdle, was not earned in full during the quarter as NAV/share declined Q/Q to $11.48 from $11.71.
  • Non-accruals at amortized cost increased during the quarter to $46.3 million or 6.8% of the portfolio from $13.3 million or 1.9% the quarter prior. Washington Inventory Services was sold during the quarter and thus removed from non-accrual but CRS Reprocessing and Specialty Brands Holdings were added with a combined cost of $36.6 million.
  • THL’s portfolio at fair value was comprised of 74.0% first lien loans and the Logan JV (joint venture) combined, up from 66.6% the quarter prior. We expect that this composition will continue to trend upwards as a percentage of total fair value and lead to fewer credit issues and thus more NAV stability going forward. While the first lien debt increasing will likely weigh on effective yields somewhat, the company can continue allocating capital to Logan (88% first lien as of 6/30/17) which had a 12.7% yield by cost as of 2Q17. Additionally, our expectation for fewer credit issues in 2018 also means less of a drag on overall portfolio yield.
  • We are maintaining our 2017 NII/share estimate of $1.15 and are revising our 2018 NII/share estimate to $1.16 from $1.18." (8/7/2017)
• 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "TCRD reported 1Q17 EPS of $0.16, versus its dividend of $0.27, so book value was down 0.9%, to $11.71. However: (1) this was caused by the writedown of one loan; and (2) thus far in 2Q17, TCRD has sold a loan for a $0.05 per share gain. With NII covering the dividend in 1Q17, and management actively managing its five control investments/equity positions, it appears to us as though TCRD should be able to cover or nearly cover its dividend with EPS in the remainder of 2017." (5/5/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "TCRD reported 4Q16 NOI $0.03 below our forecast, largely driven by yield compression as the 12/31 portfolio balance was above our forecast. TCRD outearned its recently reset dividend, which we forecast continuing. Our forward estimates come down as a result of the yield pressure in the quarter. We modestly reduce our price target along with estimates while we maintain our hold rating." (3/13/2017)
