FARMINGTON, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“Horizon”, “HRZN” or the “Company”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights Net investment income (“NII”) of $12.3 million, or $0.19 per basic share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.32 per basic share for the prior-year period Total investment portfolio of $650.3 million as of September.

Horizon Technology Finance remains a hold as portfolio growth and backlog offer a path forward, but improvements will take time to materialize. HRZN trades at a 37% discount to NAV, reflecting deep portfolio challenges despite an 18.4% dividend yield and ongoing special distributions. Recent portfolio setbacks, including a $37M net asset decline from Soli write-downs, highlight execution risk and thin dividend coverage reliant on spillover income.

Five dividend stocks go ex in the next two trading days, with yields stretching past 30%, but thin coverage and falling share prices make some of these payouts look like traps dressed up as opportunities.

Four ultra-high-yield stocks are paying out this week, but the window to collect closes as early as today's market close, and not all of them have clean coverage stories behind that income.
