Morgan Stanley Direct Lending (MSDL) currently trades at a 0.75x price to net asset value (P/NAV) and offers a yield above 12%, attracting income-focused investors. However, the business development company (BDC) is experiencing challenges including a decline in net investment income to $0.45 in Q2, a shrinking portfolio, and rising non-accrual loans at 2.9%.
