Barings BDC (BBDC) currently trades at a 21% discount to its book value and provides a total dividend yield of 12%. The company shows strong credit quality with some of the lowest non-accruals in the sector and improving portfolio performance. The recent termination of the Sierra CSA has freed up $67 million for redeployment, which, along with rising loan base rates and opportunities in software lending, supports positive income growth. Dividend coverage is solid at 106%, making BBDC fairly valued after a recent price increase but still supported by ongoing income drivers and robust credit metrics.
