It has become a consensus in the market that many BDCs, sooner or later, will have to deliver unpleasant dividend cuts. For example, the sector average dividend coverage level is 100%, which does not look promising amid a lower base rate environment.

While this might sound attractive, the reality is that PNNT has pumped massive leverage into the system.
