SLR Investment: Cracks Starting To Show

  • I maintain a hold rating on SLRC due to weaker earnings, barely sustainable dividend coverage, and lack of meaningful NAV growth. SLRC's portfolio is heavily weighted towards Asset-Based Loans and Equipment Financings, with 96.4% structured as first lien senior secured loans for added security. Despite a generous 10.5% dividend yield, the lower focus on floating rate investments limits SLRC's ability to capitalize on the current high interest rate environment.
