I bought the dip in Ares Capital Corporation earlier this summer. However, I recently sold my position. I detail why in this article.

Ares Capital (ARCC) has received quite a bit of attention from Zacks.com users lately. Therefore, it is wise to be aware of the facts that can impact the stock's prospects.

Ares Capital remains my top BDC pick, offering a durable 9.6% yield and industry-leading underwriting through credit normalization. Q2 2026 showcased resilient credit metrics, accelerating deal flow, and enhanced funding flexibility, with $6 billion in liquidity and a new commercial paper program. Dividend coverage is robust: NII, TTM core earnings, and $1.38/share spillover reserve support the $0.48 quarterly payout, with 60 consecutive stable or rising payments.

Ares Capital is upgraded to a buy, trading at a rare sub-average premium to NAV and offering a 9.6% dividend yield. ARCC's $1.5B backlog, floating-rate portfolio, and new $1B commercial paper program position it well for a higher-rate environment. Portfolio diversification remains strong, with minimal AI/software risk and robust spillover income supporting distributions.

I love investing in stocks with a combination of an impressive dividend growth track record, strong growth momentum and runway, an attractive current yield, and a solid underlying business model. I detail two such companies that recently dipped sharply. I also discuss why these discounts exist.
