'Chaos And Bad Press' Roil Private Credit — And Bulls Smell Value

FBDC

Bargain hunters are capitalizing on low valuations of private lending funds, particularly publicly-listed business development companies (BDCs), which have seen a recovery in share prices. Concerns over credit losses, especially in software investments, have led to a cautious outlook. Upcoming earnings reports from major BDCs could influence market sentiment. While some investors are shifting from unlisted to listed BDCs for better valuations, others remain skeptical about potential loan losses. Overall, BDC valuations are still below early-year levels, suggesting room for recovery despite recent gains.
