PennantPark Floating Rate also announced that shareholders on the company's books on or before January 19, 2021 are entitled to the dividend. The stock will then go ex-dividend 2 business day(s) before the record date. The ex-dividend date for PennantPark Floating Rate will be on January 15, 2021. The company's current dividend payout is at $0.1. That equates to a dividend yield of 10.9% at current price levels.What Is An Ex-Dividend Date? An ex-dividend date is when a company's shares stop trading with its current dividend payout in preparation for the company to announce a new one. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Most ex-dividend dates operate on a quarterly basis.PennantPark Floating Rate's Dividend History Over the past year, PennantPark Floating Rate has experienced no change regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on September 16, 2020 the company's payout was $0.1, which has returned to its value today. PennantPark Floating Rate's dividend yield last year was 13.36%, which has since decreased by 2.46%. Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.To read more news on PennantPark Floating Rate click here.See more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Ex-Dividend Date Insight: Source Capital * Ex-Dividend Date Insight: Cushing Renaissance Fund(C) 2021 Benzinga.com.

The net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on our investments for the year ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, including “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments” and “Item 1A.

The net change in unrealized depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from OperationsNet change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $17.0 million, or $0.44 per share, and $7.4 million, or $0.19 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.Net change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $18.4 million, or $0.47 per share, and $11.4 million, or $0.29 per share, for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in net assets from operations for the year ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year was primarily due to depreciation of the portfolio primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESOur liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur.

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 15:18:07 +0000	Earnings Preview: PennantPark Floating Rate PennantPark Floating Rate (NASDAQ: PFLT) announces its next round of earnings this Wednesday, November 18. Here is Benzinga's everything-that-matters guide for this Wednesday's Q4 earnings announcement.What Are Earnings, Net Income, And Earnings Per Share? Earnings and especially earnings per share (EPS) are useful measures of a company's profitability. Total earnings, which is also referred to as net income, equals total revenue minus total expenses. EPS equals to net income divided by the number of shares outstanding.Earnings And Revenue Sell-side analysts expect PennantPark Floating Rate's EPS to be near $0.26 on sales of $21.87 million. In the same quarter last year, PennantPark Floating Rate reported EPS of $0.29 on revenue of $23.88 million.What Are Analyst Estimates And Earnings Surprises, And Why Do They Matter? Analysts who cover this company will publish forward-looking estimates of its revenue and EPS each quarter. Averaging together every EPS and revenue prediction that each analyst makes about a company in a quarter yields the "consensus estimates." A company posting earnings or revenue above or below the consensus estimate is known as an "earnings surprise" and may move the stock by a considerable margin.View more earnings on PFLTThe Wall Street estimate would represent a 10.34% decline in the company's earnings. Revenue would be down 8.42% from the same quarter last year. Here is how the company's reported EPS has compared to analyst estimates in the past:Quarter Q3 2020 Q2 2020 Q1 2020 Q4 2019 EPS Estimate 0.28 0.29 0.29 0.29 EPS Actual 0.26 0.30 0.29 0.29 Revenue Estimate 25.57 M 25.70 M 24.12 M 23.48 M Revenue Actual 22.77 M 26.33 M 24.64 M 23.88 M Stock Performance Shares of PennantPark Floating Rate were trading at $9.27 as of November 16. Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 22.29%. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are probably upset going into this earnings release.Do not be surprised to see the stock move on comments made during its conference call. PennantPark Floating Rate is scheduled to hold the call at 10:00:00 ET and can be accessed here.See more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Ex-Dividend Date Insight: PennantPark Floating Rate(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 15:16:00 +0000	Ex-Dividend Date Insight: PennantPark Floating Rate PennantPark Floating Rate (NASDAQ: PFLT) declared a dividend payable on December 1, 2020 to its shareholders as of November 3, 2020. It was also announced that shareholders of PennantPark Floating Rate's stock as of November 17, 2020 are entitled to the dividend. The stock is expected to become ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. PennantPark Floating Rate, which has a current dividend per share of $0.1, has an ex-dividend date scheduled for November 16, 2020. That equates to a dividend yield of 14.14% at current price levels.Understanding Ex-Dividend Dates'An ex-dividend date is when a company's shares stop trading with its current dividend payout in preparation for the company to announce a new one. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Most ex-dividend dates operate on a quarterly basis.PennantPark Floating Rate's Dividend History Over the past year, PennantPark Floating Rate has seen its dividend payouts remain the same and its yields climb upward overall. Last year on July 15, 2020 the company's payout sat at $0.1, which has returned to its value today. PennantPark Floating Rate's dividend yield last year was 13.64%, which has since grown by 0.5%. Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.Click here to find details on PennantPark Floating Rate's previous dividends.See more from Benzinga * Click here for options trades from Benzinga * Ex-Dividend Date Insight: Adtran * Ex-Dividend Date Insight: Protective Insurance(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 16:04:12 +0000	6 of the Best Monthly Dividend Stocks to Fortify Your Portfolio Stocks that deliver monthly income aren’t that common. Many energy master limited partnerships (MLPs) were monthly dividend payers, but those days are over. And even the best of them aren’t a very good pick right now. That makes finding the best monthly dividend stocks a challenge. But some stocks still do deliver monthly income that are worth your time. They’re usually organized under a business sector like real estate investment trusts (REITs) or business development corporations (BDCs) that are structured for tax purposes so that investors are direct owners in the company and share their net profits as dividends. Even if you’re a growth investor it’s good to have some solid monthly dividend paying stocks in your portfolio just to offset down markets like the one we’re in right now.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips 7 Coronavirus Stocks to Buy for the Second Wave And monthly dividends work well with the more typical quarterly dividends, since the cash is rolling in more regularly. Although, each payment is 1/12th the annual dividend rather than 1/4th the dividend. With all of that said, here are six of the best stocks that fit the bill: Horizon Technology Finance Corp (NADSAQ:HRZN) Armour Residential REIT (NYSE:ARR) Gladstone Investment Corp (NASDAQ:GAIN) LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC) PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (NASDAQ:PFLT) Solar Senior Capital (NASDAQ:SUNS) Best Monthly Dividend Stocks: Horizon Technology Finance Corp (HRZN) Source: Shutterstock Alternative financial companies have been on the rise since the market crash in 2008 hamstrung banks and decimated the Wild West venture capital markets. What has grown back is a more measured approach to venture capital that usually goes by the term “alt-financials.” These are non-bank lenders that make capital available for companies that find it hard to get financing through traditional lenders at favorable terms. HRZN focuses on development stage life sciences and technology companies. It will provide up to $25 million in financing for up to 2 years and can also take warrants or success fees as part of its payment. It currently has about a 10% annual dividend it pays monthly. The stock has had its up and downs. On the one hand, it’s in the hottest sectors in the market. On the other, these are small players and risk default in a tough economy. But HRZN has its assets diversified and has a good record of picking the right companies. Armour Residential REIT (ARR) Source: Shutterstock When you think of REITs, you think about companies that own land or properties they lease out to tenants. But there’s another type of REIT that has sprung up that only deals with mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. ARR’s portfolio focuses on mortgages that are underwritten by U.S. government agencies, which also removes a lot risk in its investment portfolio. If a homeowner defaults, the government agency that backs the mortgage has to pay most of that loss, not ARR. This business generates a lot of cash and that means it generates a big dividend yield. That yield now stands around 12.7%. The 10 Best Stocks to Buy for Gen Z Investors Given the fact that the real estate market should be hot for a number of years, with interest rates pinned a record lows, ARR is in a good space. Gladstone Investment Corp (GAIN) Source: Shutterstock This firm has a number of funds inside it that all pay monthly dividends. This is the private-equity fund that focuses on lower middle market companies. GAIN helps with capital, accessing markets and growing the businesses. It generally invests up to $30 million in debt and equity in a company that has between $3 million to $20 million EBITDA. It focuses on stable companies and prides itself on developing long-term relationships with its companies. This stability is a nice hedge in a market as volatile as this one. Once the next economic stimulus is sorted out after the election, GAIN will be a beneficiary. Until then, the stock has a 10% dividend to keep the cash coming. LTC Properties (LTC) Source: Shutterstock There are two long-term trends that were here before the novel coronavirus pandemic and will be here after a vaccine is found and distributed: a graying population and healthcare. LTC is a REIT that for nearly 3 decades has focused its business on these two property sectors. There’s little doubt that once we get out of the current mess we’re in, these two sectors will once again be on the growth track. 7 Penny Stocks to Watch in November Currently, this sector has gone begging as housing REITs and tech stocks have seized the day, but LTC has a foothold in a strong long-term trend that will endure. And its 7% dividend makes it a far more attractive option than parking your cash in the bank. PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (PFLT) Source: Shutterstock Another alt-financial, PFLT provides first lien debt to middle market companies, primarily in the U.S. market. It also supplies some second lien debt and takes equity positions in some companies. Its average investment size is $10.6 million and has a total portfolio of $1.1 billion. PFLT currently has 104 companies in its portfolio that are in 43 industries. Recently, PFLT formed a joint venture with global private markets investor Pantheon to expand its growth opportunities. PFLT stock currently has a big 14.5% dividend and given its well-seasoned management and the quality companies in its portfolio, it should weather the current pandemic well. All of that stacks up to make it one of the best monthly dividend stocks to consider buying now. Solar Senior Capital (SUNS) You may think that this BDC focuses on the solar industry, but it doesn’t. It works with companies that are looking for $5 million to $20 million in capital as either first lien or second lien debt. Its clients are generally U.S.-based companies that are non-cyclical businesses. This keeps reporting and transparency easy. And the non-cyclical model means SUNS doesn’t have to hedge across industries to keep a portfolio balanced when sectors rise and fall. Again, like many of these companies that are financing small- and medium-sized businesses, the current risk is sustaining the economy until it can recover. If the economy seizes, SUNS’s clients will have a tough time repaying their loans. And that will make it tough for SUNS. 7 Coronavirus Stocks to Buy for the Second Wave But SUNS stock already has priced in that risk, so its 9.5% dividend is very attractive and a good source of income.

This compares to investment income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, which was $22.9 million and $69.1 million, respectively, and was attributable to $19.9 million and $62.0 million from first lien secured debt and $3.0 million and $7.0 million from other investments, respectively. The increase in investment income compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio.ExpensesExpenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $12.6 million and $40.7 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.9 million and $8.7 million, incentive fee totaled $2.0 million and $7.2 million, debt related interest and expenses totaled $6.7 million and $21.6 million and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. This compares to expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 which totaled $11.5 million and $35.0 million, respectively. Base management fee for the same periods totaled $2.6 million and $7.5 million, incentive fee totaled $2.4 million and $3.7 million (including $(1.4) million on realized and unrealized gains accrued but not payable), debt related interest and expenses totaled $5.7 million and $20.8 million (including $4.5 million in Credit Facility amendment costs), and general and administrative expenses totaled $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase in expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the growth of our portfolio.Net Investment IncomeNet investment income totaled $10.2 million and $33.1 million, or $0.26 and $0.85 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Net investment income totaled $11.3 million and $34.1 million, or $0.29 and $0.88 per share, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.Net Realized Gains or LossesSales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $104.1 million and $347.2 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $7.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Sales and repayments of investments for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $66.6 million and $400.1 million, respectively, and net realized losses totaled $18.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively. The change in realized gains/losses was primarily due to changes in the market conditions of our investments and the values at which they were realized.Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 NotesFor the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $21.9 million and $(46.4) million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments of $11.9 million and $(13.2) million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, our net unrealized depreciation on investments totaled $49.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The net change in unrealized depreciation on our investments compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital market conditions as well as the financial performance of certain portfolio companies primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of $(12.2) million and $22.7 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes had a net change in unrealized appreciation of $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the net unrealized depreciation on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes totaled $27.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The net change in net unrealized depreciation compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets.Net Change in Net Assets Resulting from OperationsNet change in net assets resulting from operations totaled $12.6 million and $1.4 million, or $0.32 and $0.04 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. This compares to a net change in net assets resulting from operations of $4.5 million and $4.0 million, or $0.12 and $0.10 per share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the net change in net assets from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to changes in the capital markets. The decrease in the net change in net assets from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to depreciation of the portfolio primarily driven by the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding its continued adverse economic impact. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our business and results of operations, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESOur liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds of securities offerings, debt capital and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and payments of fees and other operating expenses we incur. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives. For more information on how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our ability to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility, see the “Effects of COVID-19” section below.The annualized weighted average cost of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, inclusive of the fee on the undrawn commitment on the Credit Facility, amendment costs and debt issuance costs, was 3.9% and 5.3%, respectively (excluding amendment and debt issuance costs, amounts were 3.9% and 4.4%, respectively). As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had $168.4 million and $254.7 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, respectively, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, PennantPark Floating Rate Funding I, LLC had $351.6 million and 265.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, respectively. The Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 2.2% and 4.1%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had cash equivalents of $53.4 million and $63.3 million, respectively, available for investing and general corporate purposes. We believe our liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to take advantage of market opportunities.Our operating activities used cash of $63.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, and our financing activities provided cash of $53.1 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from draws on our Credit Facility, partially offset by distributions paid to stockholders.Our operating activities used cash of $96.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and our financing activities provided cash of $48.4 million for the same period. Our operating activities used cash primarily for our investment activities and our financing activities provided cash primarily from draws on Credit Facility, partially offset by for distributions paid to stockholders.DISTRIBUTIONSDuring the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we declared distributions of $0.285 and $0.855 per share, respectively, for total distributions of $11.1 and $33.2 million, respectively. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a return of capital for tax purposes may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, stockholders will be notified of the portion of those distributions deemed to be a tax return of capital. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders subject to information reporting on Form 1099-DIV after the end of each calendar year and in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.EFFECTS OF COVID-19The spread of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the U.S. economy and has resulted in governmental orders imposing travel restrictions and prolonged closures of many corporate offices, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, factories and other common places of public congregation around the world. These restrictions and “stay-at-home” orders have essentially resulted in the shutdown of all non-essential businesses, as defined by each governmental authority imposing the respective orders. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, an adverse impact on our operating results and the operating results of our portfolio companies. Any future impact to our business and results of operations will depend to a large extent on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities and other entities to reduce the spread of the virus, all of which are beyond our control.We had a significant reduction of our net asset value as of June 30, 2020 as compared to our net asset value as of September 30, 2019. This reduction resulted from an increase in the overall net unrealized depreciation of the Company’s portfolio, including unrealized depreciations in the Company's investments, the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes as of June 30, 2020, which was primarily due to the immediate adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing uncertainty surrounding its long-term effects as well as the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market. As of June 30, 2020, we are in compliance with asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, we are not in default of any asset coverage requirements under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020. However, any continued increase in unrealized depreciation of our investment portfolio or further significant reductions in our net asset value, as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, increases the risk of breaching the relevant covenants. As such, we may run into liquidity issues in the future if we are unable to draw on the unused borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility due the breach of financial covenants.We will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take further actions based on their recommendations. There may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plans accordingly. While we are closely monitoring this situation, we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows with any level of certainty. However, we expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a material adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies. For information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, including “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – COVID-19 Developments” and “Part II - Other Information – Item 1A.
