Stellus Capital: The Dividend Cut Finally Stopped The Bleeding (Rating Upgrade)

Stellus Capital Investment Corporation is upgraded to hold as recent distribution cuts and improved NAV signal stabilization, despite ongoing portfolio contraction. Its dividend yield stands at 11.8%, now fully covered by net investment income, but coverage remains thin and sustainability is uncertain amid elevated non-accruals. Portfolio growth is challenged by negative net investment activity and high non-accruals, though future redeployment of $140M in non-earning assets and a new SBIC license could support expansion.
