🔥 Video Insights
Hercules Capital shares recently slipped toward the mid fifteen dollar range, trading near a fifty two week low. The decline came despite record annual net investment income of about 341 million dollars in 2025 and quarterly earnings around 0.48 dollars per share. Net asset value stands near twelve dollars per share, meaning the stock still trades above book value. Non accrual loans remain very low at roughly 0.2 percent of the portfolio, and more than ninety percent of debt investments are first lien secured. The dividend, roughly 1.60 to 1.70 dollars annually, offers a yield near ten percent and has grown over recent years, supported by strong interest income. However, coverage has tightened as rate expectations shift lower. Risks include venture credit exposure, falling interest rates, and possible net asset value pressure. Is this temporary compression or early warning? Recovery depends on credit stability and sustained earnings. This review is for informational and educational purposes only, not financial advice.
