Sixth Street Specialty Lending cut its dividend by 10.6% quarter-over-quarter to $0.42, restoring dividend coverage above 100% in Q2. TSLX maintains a high-quality portfolio, with a 1.3% fair value non-accrual rate and a portfolio value of $3.3 billion, primarily first liens. The stock trades at a premium (1.16x NAV), reflecting investor confidence in its asset quality and dividend sustainability after the cut.

Many BDCs have cut their dividends in the past 12-month period. However, for many (including those who have already cut), some form of damage is still in front of them. In my view, investing in BDCs for truly durable income is almost impossible.
