Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Medley Capital Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Medley Capital Corporation is a closed-end, externally managed investment company. Medley Capital Corporation's objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by lending directly to privately-held small and middle market companies to help these companies fund acquisitions, growth or refinancing. Their portfolio will generally consist of first lien senior secured loans, and, to a lesser extent, second lien secured loans. In many of their investments, they will get warrants or other equity participation features which they believe will increase the total investment returns. " (7/18/2017)
• 2. National Securities analysts commented, "• Medley posted NII/share of $0.15 versus consensus estimates of $0.20 and our own estimate of $0.19. The company did not earn an incentive fee during the quarter and we project they will earn very small incentive fees in the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2017. The quarterly dividend was reduced to $0.16/share from $0.22/share which was steeper (and happened quicker) than our anticipated cut to $0.18/share.
  • MCC continues to struggle with asset quality with non-accruals at cost finishing the quarter at $172.3 million or 16.5% of the portfolio by amortized cost, up Q/Q from $142.1 million or 14.0% of the portfolio by amortized cost. As a result of an under-earned dividend and very poor asset quality NAV/share decreased by 4.7% Q/Q to $8.94.
  • We anticipate the drag from non-accruals and increased focus on first lien exposure will continue to pressure effective yields and NIM (net investment margin) through fiscal 2017 before abating somewhat in fiscal 2018.
  • We expect NAV/share to decrease further in fiscal 2017 before the decline begins to level off in fiscal 2018 as Medley works through the significant credit quality issues in the portfolio, which will likely weigh on economic return.
  • We are revising our fiscal 2017 NII/share estimate to $0.70 from $0.75 and our fiscal 2018 NII/share estimate to $0.67 from $0.80." (5/15/2017)
• 3. FBR & Co analysts commented, "MCC reported F4Q16 (quarter-end September 30, 2016) net investment income EPS of $0.23, slightly above our estimate and the consensus expectation of $0.22. Although EPS fully covered the new quarterly dividend of $0.22/share, this was supported by the payment of no incentive fees, as total investment income fell by $1.2M QOQ. Asset quality remained an issue as NAV/share decreased by $0.27 (or 3%) on a linked-quarter basis and $1.51 (or 14%) from F4Q15. Going forward, we remain cautious on MCC’s earnings outlook given declining investment asset volumes, an elevated D/E ratio, and management’s comments that capital deployment will be conservative in coming quarters. Further, we do not yet see a change in MCC’s continued asset quality instability." (12/12/2016)
