Kayne Anderson BDC: Potential, But Nothing Special Yet

  • Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc.'s fundamentals are solid, with high first-lien loan exposure, low leverage, and ongoing share repurchases supporting a defensive profile. Despite portfolio growth and strong activity, declining net investment income and rising non-accruals raise concerns about dividend sustainability, especially as rates fall. KBDC stock trades at a slight discount to NAV, but limited upside and economic uncertainty keep me cautious and maintain my Hold rating.
