MidCap Financial's Q1 Results Confirm Weaker BDC Investment Returns, Still Undervalued

  • MidCap Financial's Q1 results were weak but in line with peers, reflecting lower investment income and asset yields as SOFR rates declined. Management is actively repositioning the portfolio, notably reinvesting Merx proceeds at higher yields and refinancing debt to lower costs, supporting future earnings growth. Despite a slight earnings miss, the dividend remains very safe, with strong cash reserves and upside potential from increased leverage and Merx reinvestment.
