Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation Stock News

Sky-high dividends of 13-14% are appealing but often come with significant risks. I discuss two stocks that have fully covered 13% and 14% yields that have a lot going for them and look deeply undervalued. However, I believe their dividends are at risk of getting cut soon.

OCSL is a business development company oriented around debt investments (predominantly first-lien debt).
