PhenixFIN Corporation (PFX)

The BDC sector faces mounting risks: falling base rates, spread compression, and rising credit issues, driving a ~23% index drawdown in 12 months. Dividend cuts have accelerated, with 12 out of ~55 BDCs—including GBDC and GLAD—reducing payouts in the past year. Sector-wide average base dividend coverage sits at 100%, with fully leveraged balance sheets and no margin of safety.

Recent AI and mega-cap growth volatility has impacted income-focused asset classes, underscoring the need for high-quality value and reliable current income streams. I structure my portfolio for an 8–9% yield by combining core dividend aristocrats, strategic yield enhancers, and a minor allocation to tactical high-yield trades. In this article I elaborate on two tactical trade picks, where I see dislocated, abnormally high-yielding (20%+) opportunities.

Business development companies (BDCs) are selling off. Recent bankruptcies are sparking fears across private credit. I review the best BDC opportunities following the sell-off.

We are in a 'hated bull market' with record highs despite weak economic fundamentals and tight fixed income spreads. High-risk assets like BDCs are especially vulnerable in this environment, making them less attractive compared to traditional value sectors. I expect most BDCs to underperform going forward, given market highs and unfavorable economic undercurrents.

PhenixFIN (PFX) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.58 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.54 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.98 per share a year ago.

PhenixFIN's internalized management and aggressive buybacks have driven strong NAV growth, and significant insider alignment sets a solid foundation for value creation. The ECC Capital transaction unlocks a hidden asset: a massive deferred tax asset at ECRO, potentially offering substantial upside not reflected in current book value. PFX's concentrated portfolio, equity-heavy approach, and limited liquidity pose risks, but also differentiate it from traditional BDCs and create tracking opportunities.

Business development companies (BDCs) remain attractive for short-term, high-yield investments despite challenging market conditions. Established BDCs have demonstrated resilience, maintaining value while delivering appealing risk-reward profiles. Market volatility has impacted many BDCs, but top players continue to offer strong income opportunities.
