Sixth St (TSLX) Q4 Earnings: How Key Metrics Compare to Wall Street Estimates
Although the revenue and EPS for Sixth St (TSLX) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended December 2024, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

Sixth Street Specialty Lending: Strong Liquidity Enables Navigation Of Lower Interest Rates
Sixth Street Specialty Lending has shown strong performance in a high interest rate environment and is well-positioned for potential lower rates. Despite a flat share price, TSLX's solid portfolio and strong dividend coverage make it a good buy on market pullbacks. The latest quarter saw TSLX beat total investment income estimates, although net investment income slightly declined from previous quarters.

Steeper Yield Curve And BDCs: This Is What You Have To Know
The past couple of months, which include the steepening of the yield curve, have been positive for BDCs. However, higher long-term rates and a steeper yield curve create a net negative effect for BDC fundamentals. In this article, I explain the recent divergence between BDC prices and the worsening interest rate environment.

TSLX's defensive portfolio features first-lien debt orientation, effective voting control on 78% of debt investments, and reasonable non-accruals at 1.9%.

1 Underrated And 1 Overrated BDC Yielding 9%+
The BDC universe is small and a large chunk of it is uninvestable for institutional money managers. This renders the sector susceptible to emotional and unsubstantiated flows that ultimately create dislocations. I share two BDCs that offer yields of around 9.5%.

8 Stocks I'm Buying As I Hone My Buying Strategy For 2025
I visualize my portfolio as a galley ship with rowers (steady compounders) and sails (high-yielding securities) for balanced growth and income. In 2025, my goal is to refocus on rowers to enhance dividend growth, using Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) as a primary vehicle. I've sold high-risk stocks and reinvested in higher-yielding, safer options, but my portfolio is now too weighted towards immediate income.

2 BDCs That Could Be The Next Stars In The Sector
The BDC segment offers significant opportunities for retail investors due to low competition from institutional investors and potential valuation inefficiencies. The best thing that could happen is if we identify these inefficiencies within BDCs that carry robust fundamentals and safe dividend coverage levels. In this article, I share two picks, which, in my opinion, are set to become the next stars in the BDC space (similar to BXSL).

BDC Weekly Review: Two BDC Performance Headwinds
We take a look at the action in business development companies through the third week of November and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs posted a strong 2% return this week as market sentiment improved and Treasury yields stabilized. Tightening credit spreads and increasing covenant-lite deals pose potential future risks, reducing portfolio yield and potential capital gains.

Investing In BDCs For 10%+ Yields? This Is What Matters Now
When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

TSLX: 10% Yielding BDC Suitable For Watch List
Despite solid 2024 NII growth, Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc.'s realized and unrealized gains fell, but dividends and NII coverage remain strong. TSLX's portfolio is 94% secured loans, with 98.8% at floating rates, and has diversified industry exposure and internal ratings. TSLX trades at a premium to NAV; advised to add to your watch list and watch for market pullbacks for better entry points.

Sixth Street Specialty Lending: Underwhelming Performance And Rising Non-Accruals (Rating Downgrade)
I am downgrading Sixth Street Specialty Lending stock to a hold due to its continued underperformance against peers and unjustified premium valuation. Despite a high 10.3% dividend yield and consistent dividend history, TSLX's total return is lackluster, only achieving a 1% YTD return. The non-accrual rate has increased to 1.9%, indicating rising vulnerability in the current high-interest rate environment.

BDC Weekly Review: Tax-Loss Season Is Approaching
We take a look at the action in business development companies through the second week of November and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. BDCs saw a 2% aggregate return on the week; TPVG surged nearly 20%, while PSEC dropped due to a bad quarter and distribution cut. Tax-loss season may pressure some securities; PSEC, HRZN, TPVG, TCPC, OCSL, GSBD, NMFC, and CSWC could weaken further by year-end.

Here's What Key Metrics Tell Us About Sixth St (TSLX) Q3 Earnings
While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Sixth St (TSLX) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended September 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.

3 BDCs With Highest Dividend Coverage Levels: Only One Is A Defensive Leader
The investment environment for BDCs remains solid, but there are some clear risks, which call for extra caution. One of the ways to protect current income streams from BDC allocations is to focus on high dividend coverage level picks. I have identified Top 3 BDCs, which carry the highest dividend coverage levels in the sector (on average around 150%).
