PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund) (NYSE: FSCO) today announced monthly distributions for each of October, November and December 2026. The distributions of $0.0594 per share will be paid on October 30, November 30 and December 31, 2026.
Higher interest rates have pushed down the prices of many income-producing securities, which creates better entry yields for investors who can tell temporary pressure from real damage.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of FS Credit Opportunities Corp. (the Fund) (NYSE: FSCO) today announced the monthly distribution for September 2026.
FS Credit Opportunities Corp (FSCO) is rated a Buy due to its significant ~30% discount to NAV, which already prices in substantial caution. FSCO's portfolio remains resilient, with ~82% first lien loans, ~88% senior secured debt, and only ~8% software exposure, dispersing risk across ~100 names. The recent dividend cut reflects lower rates, not credit distress; forward yield remains attractive at ~13.9%, with coverage likely to improve as cash is deployed.
FS Credit Opportunities trades at a 30% discount to NAV, reflecting market skepticism about its opaque, private credit-heavy portfolio. FSCO's non-accruals have risen from 3% to 4.8%, and 22% of investment income is PIK, raising concerns about credit quality and the sustainability of distributions. The fund recently cut its monthly distribution by 14%, signaling management's anticipation of further portfolio stress and the need for lower NAV earnings requirements.
