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. " (6/14/2018)
- 2. National Securities analysts commented, "• TCRD posted NII/share of $0.27 versus our estimate of $0.31 and consensus estimates of $0.29. While the company did not earn an incentive fee (which would have unexpectedly cut into earnings) the income from Logan fell short.
• We expect more capital will be prioritized to Logan and also still think that if asset quality is indeed cleaned up, which it might be given the significant mark-downs at troubled and restructured credits, that effective yields could remain respectable without any new credit issues creating a drag as well.
• However, we expect a resumption of the incentive fee in 1Q19 and anticipate a quarterly dividend cut to $0.23/share from $0.27/share currently. Lower yielding, non-sponsor investments to borrowers we believe will be more up-market will likely induce yield pressure that Logan can offset, but not overcome, in our opinion especially when factoring in the incentive fee resumption we expect.
• Charming Charlie was restructured and THL received first lien exit loans in as part of the new structure but put up a small amount of more of capital.
• NAV/share’s pace of decline moderated during the quarter as it only fell to $10.44 from $10.51 Q/Q, contrasted with $11.34 in 3Q17, courtesy of non-accruals at cost declining to 6.7% of the portfolio at amortized cost from 8.8% the quarter prior.
• The company will seek to monetize non-income producing equity investments and has a handful of companies with improving performance, but we are unsure of the timing and ultimate sales price of any of these.
• We are revising our 2018 NII/share estimate to $1.12 from $1.24 and our 2019 NII/share estimate to $1.05 from $1.00." (5/4/2018)
- 3. Maxim Group analysts commented, "While TCRD covered the dividend with core NII (even with a smaller investment portfolio), investment losses reduced EPS to below the dividend, so net asset value (NAV) was down 1.2%. Based on core NII of $0.28 covering the dividend in 3Q17, and on TCRD’s agreement to waive up to 25% of incentive fees in 2018 to the extent necessary to cover its $0.27 quarterly dividend, we are introducing 2018 dividend and EPS estimates of $1.08. Our price target equates to 1.0x NAV, which is inline with relevant peers." (11/10/2017)
