Hayes noted:
“We reiterate our Buy rating and $26 PT on shares of Saratoga Investment Corp. (SAR), following F1Q20 results that beat B. Riley FBR and Street estimates and included another quarter of NAV growth. Saratoga reported F1Q20 adjusted NII per share of $0.60, above B. Riley FBR and Street estimates of $0.58 and $0.59, respectively, and handily covering the $0.55/share dividend. Credit quality remains strong, with non-accruals accounting for only 1.2% of the portfolio and Credit Watch List investments generating a mere $0.02/share of annual interest income. Reflecting strong credit quality/underwriting, accretive ATM share issuances, and earnings power ahead of the dividend, NAV share grew 1.9% Q/Q.”
