Like a partner who has burned you before but is trying to change, Prospect Capital (Nasdaq: PSEC) is still hard to trust. The business development company, or BDC, lends money to and invests in private companies. The stock is very popular with income investors because of its 13.2% yield, its low share price, and the fact that it pays a dividend monthly. Let's see whether the company can actually afford its dividend. In Prospect Capital's fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2023, it generated $421 million in net investment income (NII). NII is the measure of cash flow that we use for BDCs. It tells us how much money the company's investments made after expenses. That 2023 NII figure was up sharply from the previous two years. |
