A 18% Yielder I Would Avoid At All Costs

Summary

Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC) continues to show concerning financial deterioration, with a 14.3% decline in net investment income and a shrinking portfolio value. Despite an attractive dividend yield of 17.9%, the company's recent earnings report reveals deeper issues, including declining revenue and asset quality. Investors should be cautious, as the ongoing portfolio repositioning may not be enough to stabilize performance. Focus on fundamental health rather than just yield to avoid potential pitfalls.
