Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski maintained a Buy rating on Great Elm Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: GECC) yesterday and set a price target of $12. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $9.57.
Kotowski wrote:
“GECC reported net investment income of $0.57 per share, but this included a reversal of a previously accrued incentive fee related to PIK income from its position in Avanti Communications. Excluding this, we estimate core NII was ~$0.30, essentially in line with our $0.29 estimate and comfortably above the $0.25 quarterly dividend. NAV was also stable at $11.79, and that was also a positive. The biggest outstanding issue, however, the company’s $42M (21% of investments/33% of NAV) exposure to Avanti remains unresolved, although there were some positive developments on that front. On balance, we still think the shares are attractive for risk-tolerant investors.”
