A BlackRock Inc. private debt fund sank in early trading after cutting its dividend, as declining rates and losses on soured loans pressured results.

A BlackRock Inc. private debt fund sank in early trading after cutting its dividend, as declining rates and losses on soured loans pressured results. BlackRock TCP Capital Corp. , a publicly traded middle-market lending fund, cut its dividend to 17 cents a share from 25 cents in previous quarters, according to a statement Friday. The shares fell 7.6% in premarket trading. “The company’s highest near-term priority is to improve portfolio credit quality by working diligently to resolve challenged credits,” the fund said in its statement. The fund said in January it would cut the net asset value of its assets by 19%, which sent shares tumbling. It has struggled in part due to exposure to e-commerce aggregators — companies that buy and manage Amazon.com Inc. sellers — as well as troubled home improvement company Renovo Home Partners , which filed for bankruptcy. Declining rates are also pressuring performance. The fund’s new investments during the fourth quarter had a weighted average effective yield of 9.7%, while that yield for exited investments was 11.1%, according to the statement. TCP shares have traded lower this week as investors raced to scrutinize lending standards and valuations across the credit market following Blue Owl Capital Inc. ’s decision to halt quarterly withdrawals from one of its retail funds. The fund is one of several business development companies that have faced investor scrutiny this year. Another publicly traded BDC jointly managed by Future Standard and KKR & Co. plunged on Thursday after cutting its dividend more than forecast as earnings declined amid lower interest rates and losses from troubled investments.

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. , which last year announced a $6 billion merger with a nearly three-decade-old nuclear fusion company, said it is in talks to spin off its Truth Social unit into a separate company. President Donald Trump ’s namesake company and merger partner TAE Technologies Inc. , a closely held fusion developer, are discussing a plan in which Trump Media’s existing stockholders would receive new shares in the social media company, according to a statement Friday. The spun-off operations would then merge with Texas Ventures Acquisition III Corp., a Nasdaq-listed blank-check vehicle. TAE Technologies Inc.’s nuclear fusion business and some of TMTG’s other assets will remain with Trump Media, the statement shows. No definitive agreement has been reached and discussions are ongoing. TMTG announced plans to merge with TAE in December, marking a combination of the Truth Social operator with a closely held fusion developer founded in 1998. The transaction was valued at more than $6 billion.

These have included stockpiling cryptocurrencies , offering financial products and setting up markets for sports wagering.

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Trinity Capital Inc. ( TRIN ) has been on my Top 3 BDC list along with Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. ( KBDC ) and Fidus Investment ( FDUS ) for quite some time. For example, in my previous follow-up piece on TRIN, I viewed the then-current BDC dip as one of the best buying opportunities in the entire BDC space. Starting from that date, TRIN is up by ~13% (on a total return basis) despite the notable sector-wide selloff that has pushed TRIN's share price lower in the past ~30-day period. My investment case on TRIN was mostly built around these aspects: Cheapest internally managed BDC to buy. I'm not including PhenixFIN ( PFX ) in the mix for obvious (different business focus) reasons. Very competitive yield Clean earnings profile (e.g., almost no PIK) Robust portfolio quality In a nutshell, it boiled down to a juicy and durable dividend case that was supported by a defensive and slowly but surely growing underlying business (or NAV). And I have to say that it does not feel bad to be right. The recent Q4, 2025 earnings package clearly proves that TRIN is not your typical high-yielding BDC. And perhaps the best thing here is that we have once again a dip situation in front of us and, at the same time, freshly baked quarterly earnings data points that provide strong evidence of TRIN's dividend (and NAV) durability. Let's dive in. Thesis review In Q4, 2025 figures, we can see that TRIN has managed to deliver an NII of $0.52 per share, which is consistent with the result achieved in the previous quarter. Some might think that it is nothing positive and even disappointing to see stagnating performance. However, as a close and active follower of the BDC space, seeing almost every Q4 BDC earnings report that has been published so far, I can say that this kind of result is exceptional. In fact, I can't even name a single BDC that has produced stable NII per share results compared to the prior quarter. The reason why BDCs have registered wea...

IURII KRASILNIKOV/iStock via Getty Images Momentum Suggests Potential Buy for Fortuna Mining Corp. Fortuna Mining Corp. ( FSM ) shares appear to be following the general upward trend in the stock market, which corresponds to a Buying behavior. We agree and upgrade the stock from “Hold” in our previous article . The gold price environment, the company's exploration progress, and its financial performance may be appealing to NYSE participants and justify Seeking Alpha's momentum in the stock's market valuation. The gold price environment, the company's exploration progress, and its financial performance may be appealing to NYSE participants and justify Seeking Alpha's momentum in the stock's market valuation. Longer-Term Momentum Source: Seeking Alpha Momentum intensified recently Source: Seeking Alpha About Fortuna Mining Corp. Fortuna Mining Q4 and Full Year 2025 Report states: Fortuna Mining Corp. is a Canadian precious metals mining company with three operating mines and a portfolio of exploration projects in Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire, Mexico, and Peru, as well as the Diamba Sud Gold Project in Senegal. Growth Potential Emerges, Stimulates Scrutiny Our previous article advocated a 'Hold' strategy until a more favorable entry point. This update aims to present evidence supporting a potential upgrade for Fortuna's stock. Factors are at play with Fortuna Mining's stock that haven't yet captured full attention. There's a considerable, deeper-rooted dynamic already underway – a growing potential that most may still be overlooking. From Our Previous Coverage The previous article discussed the idea of a Hold rating for FSM shares, which had reached high valuations at the time. As these limited further short-term gains, it was considered regrettable that the funds were not used to capitalize on the temporary weakness in FSM shares, given the existence of a risk of diminished hopes for rate cuts due to tariff-related inflation concerns. Since gold yields no interest, its ...
