NYSE issues a pre-market daily advisory direct from the trading floor. NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) provides a daily pre-market update directly from the NYSE Trading Floor.

BDCs trade at a steep discount, but the risks the bears talk about most may not be the ones that matter. One overlooked risk, hidden in loans made years ago, is already hurting several well-known names. Some of the most popular BDCs may be more exposed than their results suggest, and the moment of truth is getting closer.

Three BDC lenders are dangling yields above 13%, but a sky-high payout on one of them comes with a trail of red flags that most income investors miss until it is too late to get out whole.

Every so often, the market hands investors high-yielding opportunities on a platter after throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I detail why I think there are certain BDCs that this applies to right now. I discuss the specifics of what I am looking for as well as some of my top picks of the moment.

Business development companies are an overlooked corner of private credit and a chance for individual investors. Market fear has pushed some high-yield BDCs well below their net asset value, despite solid fundamentals. I highlight two discounted BDCs with strong balance sheets, healthy loan books, and well-covered dividends.

Three business development companies have already slashed their dividends this year, and two of the biggest names in private credit are showing the same warning signs that preceded every cut. Here is what the numbers inside their latest filings reveal.

This diversified dividend portfolio targets a 4.67% weighted average yield and 7.14% three-year dividend growth CAGR, balancing income and growth. Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF forms the portfolio's core, complemented by high-yield funds (Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Blackstone Secured Lending Fund) and select equities with strong dividend growth or high payout potential. Stock selection is guided by The Allocation Compass' proprietary Risk-Reward Rating System, emphasizing risk-adjusted returns and sustainable dividend profiles.
