Looking At Ares Capital's Financials Under Lower Interest Rates
Seeking Alpha· 2024-02-20 08:27
公司背景 - Ares Capital (NASDAQ:ARCC) 是一家经营作为商业发展公司(BDC)的公司,通过向陷入困境和中等市场企业提供贷款[1]。 利率风险 - 公司的投资工具中包含浮动利率条款,随着市场利率的变化而增加或减少,但偏向于某一方向。在Ares的情况下,回报偏向于随着利率的上升而增加,反之亦然[1]。 利率预测 - 主席Jerome Powell表示预计今年晚些时候至少会有三次降息。他表示美国经济强劲,央行可能会在今年晚些时候降低利率,但不太可能在本月发生[2]。 财务表现 - 在最近的季度电话会议上,公司宣布核心收益为0.63美元,NAVII为0.60美元,股息为0.48美元,NAV为19.24美元,投资杠杆为1.02[3]。 股息增长 - 公司成功实现了每年10%的高股息增长,同时增加净资产。管理层对此感到非常自豪[4]。 投资组合 - 大部分投资由浮动利率合同组成,其中约70%为第一抵押贷款,30%为第二抵押贷款,第二抵押贷款的风险较高[5]。
BDC Weekly Review: New BDCs Coming To Market
Seeking Alpha· 2024-02-17 01:35
文章核心观点 - 商业发展公司(BDC)行业在2月初表现不佳,整体下跌约1%,其中PSEC因业绩不佳领跌。尽管第四季度初业绩强劲,且美联储态度略显鹰派,但年初至今行业整体仅小幅下跌[2] - 尽管市场环境复杂,BDC行业仍迎来了一波IPO热潮,多家BDC公司上市,提供了流动性,但也预示着BDC行业的“金发姑娘时期”可能即将结束[3] 市场表现 - BDC行业整体下跌约1%,PSEC因业绩不佳领跌。年初至今,行业整体小幅下跌,尽管第四季度初业绩强劲,且美联储态度略显鹰派[2] 市场主题 - BDC行业的估值接近历史平均水平(约102%),较近期峰值下跌约3%[3] - 尽管年初仅一个月,BDC行业已迎来多起IPO,包括Blue Owl(OBDE)、Palmer Square(PSBD)、Nuveen(NCDL)和Morgan Stanley(MSDL)。其中,OBDE表现最为引人注目,非应计项目极低,自成立以来净内部收益率(IRR)达12%,净资产价值(NAV)创历史新高[3] - 整体BDC市场的强劲和股市风险情绪的高涨使得BDC IPO成为好时机,同时也为投资者提供了流动性,此前这些基金多为私人基金,退出机会有限[3] - 美联储预计将转向降息,这将导致行业整体净收入下降,但这并不一定意味着行业见顶,而是预示着BDC行业的“金发姑娘时期”可能即将结束[3] 公司表现 - Ares Capital Corp(ARCC)业绩强劲,NAV增长1.3%,第四季度总NAV回报率为3.9%。过去一年,股票总NAV回报率为16.1%,远高于约10%的中位数,尽管估值仅略高于平均水平[4] - 净收入增长7%,主要由于激励费用下降和还款费用增加。年底季节性因素支持了费用,但不及去年[4] - 非应计项目略微上升至1.3%,与行业水平相当,且有净实现收益。ARCC最近发行了新债券以再融资2024年到期的债券,这将略微减少未来的净收入[5] - Golub Capital BDC(GBDC)第四季度业绩良好,总NAV回报率为3.1%,NAV略有上升,主要由于保留收入持平,利息费用略有上升。激励费用下降应在第一季度累积,并应提升净收入几美分。非应计项目保持在1.1%,且有小幅净实现收益[5] 策略与总结 - 鉴于最近的BDC IPO热潮,公司将新增几家新上市BDC到BDC工具中,类似于几年前BXSL IPO时的做法。良好的历史回报和股东友好的费用结构使得这些新上市BDC成为行业中引人注目的新持仓[6] - 公司最近在ARCC接近近期峰值时减持了其仓位,约高于最后收盘价3%。公司预计ARCC将发行新股,这可能导致股价下跌3-5%,提供更好的入场点[6]

ARCC 和 MAIN 估值分析 - ARCC 和 MAIN 目前的估值较高,且对风险资产类别的暴露较大,经济环境的变化可能导致它们的 NII 和 NAV 下降[3] BDC 领域投资建议 - Ares Capital (ARCC) 和 Main Street Capital (MAIN) 是 BDC 领域中颇受认可的蓝筹股,但目前我们不建议持有它们[1] 风险回报比较 - 相比于 ARCC 和 MAIN,FS KKR Capital Corp (FSK)、Blue Owl Capital Corporation (OBDC) 和 Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL) 在当前环境下提供了更优越的风险回报[5]
