Crescent Capital BDC: Latest Quarter A Clear Sign Of A Weakening Economy (Rating Downgrade)

  • I'm downgrading Crescent Capital from buy to hold due to weakening fundamentals and rising economic uncertainty. Recent earnings showed sequential declines in total and net investment income, with increasing non-accruals and NAV erosion. CCAP's leverage is above peer average, raising risk, and the probability of a dividend cut is higher if economic conditions worsen.
