Investment Q&A

Q: Please compare the first two with BAM. Seems they have much higher dividends, and lower valuation. Would you comfortable to pick one today for a long term investing? Thank you!

Q: Four months ago you said..........

"PNNT insiders have been large net buyers of stock over the past six months. The stock is 5X earnings, but quite small at $182M market cap. Indicated yield is 26.4%, with the last dividend paid April 1. The dividend was cut in late 2016. PNNT is a finance company, providing loans to US middle market companies. Investors are concerned about defaults in a corona world, and the stock is down 58% this year, pushing yield higher. The company has 135 investments; some are doing well (groceries) and some are shuttered. The company recently gave a shareholder update, and it is good to see insiders backing their generally positive remarks. Still, we would put this one in the extreme risk category, on size alone, as well as a possible dividend cut or elimination."

what is your current analysis and opinion of PNNT

Q: If possible can you kindly comment on PennantPark Investment Corporation.
What caught my attention was significant insider buying in the last 6 weeks.
In addition I was impressed with today's notice to shareholder press release.
nasdaq.com shows a 31% dividend payable Apr. 1. Is that correct ?
Thank-you
