New Mountain Finance: A Buy At A 13% NAV Discount

  • New Mountain Finance covered its dividend for two quarters, but the 100% payout ratio leaves no margin of safety for future payments. NMFC stock trades at a 13% discount to net asset value, reflecting market concerns about a potential short-term dividend cut. Credit quality is stable, with an improving non-accrual trend and a strong focus on first lien debt in the portfolio.
