Barings BDC remains a hold as it deals with macroeconomic headwinds and limited growth opportunities despite a resilient portfolio and trading at a deep discount to NAV. Its earnings and dividend coverage are tight, with net investment income at $0.27 per share and a 12.8% yield, increasing the risk of a future dividend reduction.
