Gladstone Investment Corporation Stock News

We all learn over time. Some of us more than others. The agency mortgage REIT price-to-book ratios are getting really high, except for the weaker ones. That doesn't make the weak ones a great bargain. Main Street Capital stands out among BDCs for superior management and NAV growth, but that valuation just refuses to come down.

Gladstone Investment is a strong BDC, but its common stock is risky due to high leverage, concentrated holdings, and a premium valuation.

I maintain a hold rating on GAIN, due to increased non-accruals and heavy reliance on equity investments, which are riskier in a high-rate environment. While GAIN offers a compelling 6.5% dividend yield and solid recent earnings, the premium to NAV and economic uncertainties make the stock expensive now. Non-accruals have risen to 13.1% of cost, signaling some portfolio deterioration and raisin...
