MidCap Financial (MFIC), a senior-debt focused business development company (BDC) with full exposure to variable-rate first liens, is positioned to benefit from rising interest rates. Despite trading at a 37% discount to its net asset value (NAV), this discount seems exaggerated given its improved dividend coverage, which was restored to 129% after an 18.4% dividend cut in Q1, reducing payout risk. Short-term risks include potential NAV declines and higher non-accruals, but if NAV stabilizes and dividend coverage remains strong, the stock has upside potential and is rated a 'Buy'.
