Prospect Capital: Largest Discount In A Decade Still Doesn't Justify A Buy

  • Prospect Capital (PSEC) has been a poor performer, trading at its largest discount to NAV in a decade due to earnings decline and poor financials. PSEC's heavy reliance on real estate makes it vulnerable to high interest rates, causing a significant NAV decline and underperformance against peers. Despite a high dividend yield of 14.9%, the long-term sustainability is questionable, with no significant improvements in portfolio structure or new investment activity.
