Ares Capital Corp (ARCC)

CAPS Rating:
****

A closed-end, non-diversified management investment company, which primarily invests in first and second lien senior loans and long-term mezzanine debt.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Looking at the yearly tendancy of this stock to rise and fall, it looks to be on the upswing. couple that with the fact it pays out dividends consistently and it should continue to follow history and rise.

Low P/E. good earnings and a great dividend. With banks withholding credit, Arcc should perform better over the next year.

They are just entering the mezzanine market at a time of historically wide spreads. They have survived the tough times buy lying low and doing little business and now that the idiot banks and private equity guys are out of the market they are putting the petal to the metal and will grow well above average for the next 2 years. Look for margins to widen and dividends to rise faster than expected starting in the 3q.

Due to the price dropping, the dividend rate is great.
